Those of you with a sweet tooth may want to try arroz con leche, a local rice pudding made with milk.

    The official currency is the Costa Rican colón (CRC), but US dollars are widely accepted, particularly in tourist areas. It's advisable to have some colones on hand for smaller purchases and local markets.

    The Festival de la Luz (Festival of Lights) in San José is a spectacular parade with vibrant floats and music.

Another option could be exploring La Fortuna, Monteverde Cloud Forest and the beaches of Guanacaste.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Costa Rica?

  • What are the top shopping destinations in Costa Rica?

    San José offers a variety of shopping options, from malls like Multiplaza Escazú to local markets. In tourist areas like Tamarindo and Manuel Antonio, you'll find numerous souvenir shops and boutiques selling handicrafts and local products. For unique artisan crafts, explore smaller towns and villages.
  • What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Costa Rica?

    Corcovado National Park in the Osa Peninsula is renowned for its biodiversity but requires more effort to reach.
