The currency used in Costa Rica is the Costa Rican Colón (CRC). Travelers can use both cash and cards, but cash is often preferred in rural areas and small businesses, while cards are widely accepted in cities, hotels, and larger establishments. It is advisable for travelers to carry some cash for convenience.
In San José, travelers should be cautious of petty theft such as pickpocketing and bag snatching, especially in crowded areas and on public transportation. Scams involving overcharging by taxi drivers and unofficial tour operators are common, so it's advised to use authorized services and agree on prices beforehand. Additionally, travelers should avoid walking alone at night in less populated neighborhoods and stay alert to their surroundings to ensure safety.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings.

Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
