COSTA RICA TRAVEL GUIDE || PLACES TO VISIT, WHAT TO PACK, & TIPS

[@BucketListTravellers]

Good tip about the dehumidifier. We'll have to keep that in mind 👍

[@dylanfonseca4035]

Nice, as a Costa Rican I can say that this video is very accurate, I'm glad that you enjoyed my country and hope you come back soon to see more amazing places

[@dylanfonseca4035]

@david chm???

[@lina.lecompte]

[@rmannayr2129]

THIS WAS GREAT!

[@lynnmoreno6878]

Your video is by far the BEST I’ve seen so far!!!! Very well done! Thank you!

[@lina.lecompte]

Lynn Moreno so happy to hear that!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@erick-o]

Dry bag, binoculars Two things I did not consider at all for our upcoming trip. Thank you!

[@lina.lecompte]

of course!! It would've been a huge help to us consider how much it rained when we were there hahaha the garbage bags weren't the best, a dry bag would've been 10 times better! And great to see wildlife with binoculars. have fun!

[@Desi_lenore]

I’m leaving in a week and I’m soooo excited

[@lina.lecompte]

ahhh that's awesome! have so much fun!

[@delunk5906]

[@rmannayr2129]

GREAT VLOG LINA!

[@SuperDB215]

Thank you for that dehumidifier tip, that's the first time I have heard that

[@lina.lecompte]

no problem!! Wish someone had told us!

[@nolecab5038]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@lina.lecompte]

[@butcheyler23]

[@lina.lecompte]

[@AlasdairBraxton]

Wow! Costa Rica looks awesome, great video as always✌🏼️

[@lina.lecompte]

Thank you!

[@theetravelhippie]

This was great! Thank you for including the prices! Was it difficult getting around the island?

[@JR-gh8lp]

Great video, very helpful especially with the price of admissions to calculate into budget!!

[@lina.lecompte]

Thanks for watching!! I find it strange that a lot of places don't include admission prices online, hope what I said is still accurate today :)

[@firoozehnoroozi3610]

Thank you dear all the tips were so helpful

[@troydavis1064]

Great video and advice! Headed there in a month.

[@lina.lecompte]

glad it helped!! i think you'll really like it, have a great time!

[@JUELSSMOOTHROMANCE]

Very Good Info and Back ground Music

[@saraioannou86]

Thanks for the dry bag tip- ive never even heard of them, but im sure it will save me and my family headaches when we go. Were going the first week of november. When did you go? Do you know if the rain should be calming down by then?

[@lina.lecompte]

yesss, honestly dry bags are such a good thing to have there! I think we went around July! By November, the rain should kind of be calming down! From what I understand (and you can definitely look this up to be sure!), the rainy season is from May- November, and the "dry season" is from November - April

[@metatatata8871]

Super helpful. Awesome video🙏🏾

[@maayanm1]

thank you! was really helpfull! I wrote down all your tips !

[@lina.lecompte]

awesome! hope you have a great time!

[@citaarroyo5663]

Thanks so much for all the info you had provide. This video is amazing.. Question: it is safe to drive?

[@lina.lecompte]

Of course! We felt pretty safe driving around - but we're also from Colombia so my parents were pretty used to the kinda driving we had to do!!

[@ArunKumar-rk2uo]

Thank you Lina.. Very helpful

[@lusiamendieta139]

I am planning to visit and live there so thank you for this it was helpful

[@lina.lecompte]

awesome! thanks for watching :)

[@miguelatambucho748]

Great video. I am going in Nov 23rd I guess it will be a lot of rain. Thnaks

[@Isafanhp]

Thank you for your precise advice! :) Is it safe to walk at night? Which areas should I avoid?

[@lina.lecompte]

hi sorry for the late reply! I would say for the most part we found it pretty safe. But then again, I was walking with my whole family and that includes my dad. In terms of what areas to avoid, I really don't know sorry! hope you have a good time though!

[@melanyhernandez1725]

Limón and San José have some really nice attractions but avoid walking around those places at night, unless you're like with a group or something

[@scottbergmann4938]

Helpful,video, thanks. About car insurance, it looks like the travel sites charge only $11 per day for the ins, is that legit or do they hold you up for more when you get there?

[@akeridae]

There’s tax

[@captaindiabetes4244]

42$ to enter a water fall what a ripp off . in equador they are taller.. wider..and 2$ to enter

[@acostaacosta5454]

How long did you go for? We are going for a week!

[@lina.lecompte]

I think around 10 days or so! have so much fun!

[@golgiapparat8704]

Hey, we are planning to go to Costa Rica in december, but my friend is a little uncomfortable because she heard that it may be unsafe to travel as a woman (we're both girls). Did you ever have the feeling that you're unsafe or in danger?

[@justariacr]

Golgi Apparat Hi, I’m from Costa Rica and I actually have never heard that. Still, it’s always better if you both travel together and if you feel uncomfortable you can just seek a comfortable-looking establishment, tell the person there your situation and leave until you feel better or ask some one if they can help you.

[@lina.lecompte]

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I never felt like I was unsafe or in danger, but then again, I was also traveling with my family and my dad was there with me the whole time. But from what I've heard, it's safe for the most part - obviously do your research about which areas to avoid, and follow the usual precautions you would anywhere else

[@sunhwachoe4646]

Hi, did you rent navigation as well? How did you figure it out?

[@lina.lecompte]

Hi, not totally sure what you mean by renting navigation... we just relied on Google Maps and the maps.me app for navigation, we made sure to have the maps downloaded to our phones so they worked when we didn't have wifi.

[@joemuscarella2391]

What microphone and camera are you using during the vlog?

[@lina.lecompte]

Canon 80D and just the internal mic!

[@joemuscarella2391]

@@lina.lecompte Thank you - the sound is very nice.

[@manzanitafritapinita7379]

La fortuna es mi lugar favorito tabacon

[@6iancarloa]

heading there in a month with a backpacker budget, let see how it goes 🙈🙈🙈

[@lina.lecompte]

Giancarlo Acuna i think it’s definitely doable! I’d probably join a backpacker page and ask for suggestions cuz my trip definitely wasn’t backpacker

[@Cjcael]

Rio Chollin Hot spring, free access to the public instead of paying at Tabacon. Also, check out Essence Arenal

[@heatherpratt6824]

$450 for a week with a rental car is actually cheaper than I've been seeing! Do you have a rental car place you would recommend?! :)

[@lina.lecompte]

We went with Alamo!

[@phoenixnmhesq]

Hmm🤔. We were there for 6 days and I paid $250 for a rental car with full coverage.

[@josepharreola8191]

pheonixnmhesq what car rental did you use ?

[@Namoari941]

She pronounced the name correctly: Cost- ta Rica, most Americans say: Coast ta Rica which not right.

[@lina.lecompte]

n L I’m from Colombia haha so Spanish is actually my first language!

[@mikem.a.8038]

Costa Rica

[@saintsfan0499]

So in other words if you’re going to Costa Rica Get ready to spend some money

[@manzanitafritapinita7379]

Gracias chica hermosa☘🌿🐴🐗🐐🐱🐩🐒🐕🐒🐒🐒

[@quietpls]

Costa Rica seems super expensive to get into parks.

[@lina.lecompte]

I can't quite remember, but I don't think it was too unreasonable.

[@6iancarloa]

Yes, the fee is $15 per park 👎

[@lina.lecompte]

Giancarlo Acuna considering a lot of other countries, that really isn’t that bad . Where I live you’d pay $30 to get into one of our main attractions.

[@6iancarloa]

@@lina.lecompte where do you live? I live in Indiana and we only pay $5 to visit a National Park. I am traveling in a month with a backpacker budget, let see how it goes 🙈🙈🙈

[@lina.lecompte]

Giancarlo Acuna Vancouver, Canada! There’s some attractions here that are costly but most of the parks are free. Also tons of places in Europe will charge more than $15 for attractions, it really isn’t that bad. If i were you I’d find cheap hostels (but ask around and find safe ones!), and seek out local cheap food spots and definitely spend the money for the biggest attractions - otherwise I feel like you might end up feeling like you missed out. There’s tons of Facebook groups or I’m sure a reddit for backpackers where people could give you better suggestions than what I know!

[@marcellejogaudinn3836]

nice. :)

[@pietergeens1644]

Really sad this beautiful country is so infested by Americans so prices are ridiculous now..

[@a.r.mancia1310]

Boofay,,,,

[@chrisvalladares9820]

“Cost”a Rica 😂

[@robchristian3386]

Anyone who mispronounces the country's name cannot have anything of value to say.

[@lina.lecompte]

lol what? I’m Colombian! Spanish is my first language, born and raised :) sometimes when I’m speaking English I put an accent on words because I’m speaking English hahaha it’s just a habit. And I would disagree with that anyways. Sorry you didn’t find anything of value! Hope you find what you’re looking for :)

[@MrFlanFran]

Seems like a lot of money for a place that just seems okay. 😭

[@axesantexmonero6628]

NEXT TIME DO MAKE A TOUR VIDEO NOT showing your self. IN tour videos people wants to see the view not you .. this is a positive critique

[@tn_onyoutube8436]

Speak for yourself. I am quite happy to see Lina and her friend in the frames.

[@lusiamendieta139]

I am planning to visit and live there so thank you for this it was helpful

[@mremanuel6391]

be careful with the sloths they got many mosquitoes on their hair

[@lusiamendieta139]
