This port of call is the door to the inner beauty of Costa Rica,
a country waiting to be discovered. There are volcano tours that
pass through strawberry plantations and along the coast with
inviting beaches trailing off into the distance. San Jose is a
short trip inland and the center for nightlife and all of your
delightful excursions.
Currency
The official currency of Costa Rica is the colon (CRC). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but traveler's checks in U.S. currency are even more widely accepted and are usually a good choice.
