June 27, 2023 – One of the tourist-friendliest nations in the region is this tropical and stunning nation in Central America. Costa Rica is a popular destination for luxury holidays, all-inclusive retreats, and pricey getaways where everyone on holiday can be pampered on a low budget and still have a great time.
“The majority of the best activities are free, which is one of the main reasons I’d respond “no” to someone who inquires about the cost of travelling around Costa Rica. The nation is so abundant in natural beauty that all you need to do to have a great time is to explore nature.” Says Jason Herasemluk
Hiking, along with surfing, is one of the most well-liked pastimes in Costa Rica. Some of Costa Rica’s top national parks for hiking include Corcovado National Park, Arenal Volcano National Park, and Santa Rosa National Park. While some parks and hiking trails are free, others have entrance fees of 10 to 15 USD which is very inexpensive for such a beautiful setting.
The best waterfalls in Costa Rica include Llanos de Cortez near Tamarindo, Rio Celeste in Tenorio Volcano National Park, La Fortuna Waterfall close to Arenal Volcano, La Paz Waterfall close to San Jose, and Nauyaca Waterfall close to Dominical. Seeing stunning waterfalls is a must when travelling on a budget in Costa Rica because it is such a lush country with plenty to see.
The cost of lodging is typically the highest when travelling. Costa Rica can be relatively inexpensive to travel to when compared to more expensive nations like Australia, the UK, or the USA. For anyone wondering where to stay in Costa Rica on a budget, there are many alternatives; travelers can live for almost nothing by participating in a labour exchange, which allows people to work a few hours per week in exchange for free housing in some lodges who are looking for volunteers to assist with tasks like gardening, cleaning, food preparation, managing social media or instructing yoga.
Hostels are the next cheapest type of lodging for travellers in Costa Rica trying to meet people. hostels are entertaining, social locations to stay. For a shared dorm room, hostels in Costa Rica cost between $10 to $15 USD. In addition, there are several hotels, guesthouses, and Airbnbs in Costa Ricathat are pocket friendly.
Being selective about where and what to eat or drink is yet another money-saving travel advice for Costa Rica. The best advice for travelling on a tight budget is to eat and drink like a native, there are many westernised restaurants that serve tourists because Costa Rica is a very popular tourist destination. These restaurants are extremely pricey and provide international cuisine like burgers and pizza, avoid these restaurants and make an effort to dine locally instead. It will help save money and have a more genuine experience. For drinking alcohol, the same principle applies, importeddrinks and cocktails are more expensive and one can save money by consuming the local alcoholic beverages.
Public buses are, as is typical in many nations the least expensive mode of transportation in Costa Rica. However, Central American public transport is generally sluggish and congested but it’s a great opportunity to learn Spanish and get a taste of the local way of life. A shared van or minibus is the next most affordable and perhaps the most popular mode of transportation.
It is absolutely worthwhile to travel to Costa Rica because there is so much to see and do there for free and everyone cansee it’s not too difficult to travel on a budget to Costa Rica if the above suggestions are considered.
Pura Vida everyone.
