Dos and Don’ts for Travelers in Costa Rica
this is my classmate submission we need reply
Here is a list of Costa Rica Do’s and Don’ts for people visiting their country.
The Do’s include
1.Learning the phrase pura vida, which means “pure life” and can also mean “no worries”. Costa Ricans use pure vida to say hello, goodbye, and to express happiness. (Guest, 2009)
2.Use whatever knowledge of the Spanish language you can. Costa Ricans respect the effort and will be friendlier to you if you give a shot at speaking their language. (Guest, 2009)
3.Participate in the great activities that they have to offer like zip lining, surfing, canopy tours, turtle patrols and scuba diving. (Guest, 2009)
4.Acknowledge their ecological wonderland that is in Costa Rica and compliment the locals on how beautiful their country is. This is a great conversation starters and topics to have with them. (Guest, 2009)
5.Take public transportation rather than rent your own car. The bus transportation is inexpensive, reliable, and the drivers know where they are going. The road signs are very poor in the countryside and it is very easy to get lost, especially if you do not speak good Spanish. (Guest, 2009)
The Dont’s include:
1.Bathe nude at the beach, and don’t wear your bathing suits away from the beach like on the streets or in restaurants/stores. This is not acceptable unless you are at a resort. Respect the local customs. (Guest, 2009)
2.Don’t tip! They do not expect you to tip the wait staff extra at restaurants. There is already a 10% service charge included on your bill on top of the tax. Taxi drivers also do not need to be tipped. However, tipping the hotel busboys and maids, around $1 per bag/ a day is more than enough. (Guest, 2009)
3.Don’t hike in the rainforest off any marked path. This country has pit vipers, fire ants, and fer de lances. Especially don’t do this after dark, that is when the snakes are the most active. (Guest, 2009)
4.Don’t pick plants or hunt for seashells or damage trees or flowers. In Costa Rica, vegetation is strictly protected by the government and it could be the equivalent of a felony if you are caught disturbing the flora and fauna. (Guest, 2009)
5.Don’t wear bright colors if you intend on seeing elusive wildlife because you will scare off the animals. Instead, wear darker, neutral colors. (Guest, 2009)
