If bringing dollar bills, be sure to have low denomination bills of $20 dollar bills or less. Bills in the amount of $50 or $100 are hardly ever accepted locally. To exchange dollar bills to “colones”, we recommend exchanging at the local banks instead of at the airports. No U.S. coins are taken locally; only "colones", the local currency.
Major credit cards are accepted in Costa Rica but be sure to have it activated for overseas traveling.
If you have made arrangements to have us waiting for you, look for the person with the Texas A&M University sign in-hand. Do not allow anyone else to handle your luggage.
Public shuttle schedules and information available upon request.
