WELCOME TO COSTA RICA AND NICARAGUA
Your vacation is very important to us and so it is for this reason that we’ve put together this list of travel information, guidelines, and tips to ensure that your vacation is the best that it can be.
1. You probably have some pre-conceptions about what your trip will be like. You may have seen documentaries or read books or articles on the flora and fauna of these two countries. Remember that those films and/or photographs were taken over a long period of time. Don't be disappointed if you don't see a Quetzal or Jaguar in your first 15 minutes in the Cloud or Rainforest. The vegetation is thick and lush and the animals for the most part are small and shy so it takes patience and a keen eye to spot them.
2. Part of the fun, and at times the difficulty, of traveling to new regions of the world is trying to adapt to various environments and situations (hotel, food, transportation, and climate). Try looking at it as a positive, interesting and exciting experience. Try to observe and appreciate how the people of these countries have adapted to their particular environment - don't focus solely on the plants and animals.
3. The "Latin system" was inherited in part from our mother country, Spain, and as many of us will quickly tell you, we made it even less efficient. Try to understand and make the most of it. We will do our best to make things run more efficiently for you than they usually do here. On the other hand, if we could achieve an industrialized world pace, you would lose an important part of the experience of being here.
4. Adventure travel is exactly as its name implies, an adventure and you are on a tentative itinerary! Although every attempt is made to adhere to itineraries, participants need to acknowledge and willingly accept the possibility of unexpected route and itinerary changes due to factors beyond the control of the operator. We are all at the mercy of Mother Nature and varying weather conditions will affect roads, rivers, flights, etc. - not to mention the human factor. Be patient and calm, we're here to help with whatever problems or difficulties you encounter.
5. Part of the fun of traveling is trying to communicate with the local people. Before your visit, you should learn a few basic expressions in the local language; -- "hello," (HOLA), "please," (POR FAVOR), "thank you," (GRACIAS) "can you help me?" (ME PUEDE AYUDAR) -- but also try to learn even more.
6. Costa Rica and Nicaragua have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, but not all are safe for swimming. On both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, currents are swift and dangerous, and there are no lifeguards or signs warning of dangerous beaches. Ask a local before you take the plunge!
7. Statistically, you are probably safer from crime in Costa Rica and Nicaragua than in your home country. On the other hand, tourists are better targets for petty theft than local citizens are, in part because their attention often is focused on new sights and sounds rather than personal security. Leave your flashy jewelry at home, wear your daypack on your chest when walking around the capital cities, and don't flash large amounts of cash.
8. Please make every effort to have a minimal negative impact on the natural and human environment that you encounter and to conserve natural resources both during your stay and when you return home.
9. Finally, one of the justifications for travel is that cultural exchange leads to understanding and brotherhood. Please remember that things that are different here aren't necessarily better or worse than those in your country, they're just different. There are ideas and attitudes in all societies that might be beneficially adopted by others. Look for them!!
