GETTING AROUND

We recommend getting a 2 person ATV for the entire length of your stay. The roads in Santa Teresa are dusty and bumpy, so having an ATV will give you the most thrilling and enjoyable experience. You can effortlessly explore the neighboring cities and beaches, making the most of your stay. Furthermore, the easy parking available for ATVs enhances the convenience of this option. When you contact the company to book, let them know your hotel and length of stay and they will drop off your ATV upon arrival and pick it up for you before you leave to the airport. You will definitely need some sort of transportation around town as the weather is not ideal for walking.

*For anyone who might want a more comfortable ride check out the link provided for Blue Zone Buggy who rents four passenger Honda Mules. We would recommend booking these in advance.

If you time it right, you can visit this island during low tide when the path emerges from the water.

Currency

Credit cards are widely accepted by most businesses in Santa Teresa. Just make sure your credit card company doesn’t charge a foreign transaction fee. In addition to credit cards, it's a good idea to have some local currency. The national currency of Costa Rica is the Costa Rican Colón (CRC). We recommend bringing some USD for your tours, but if you would like some local currency (Colónes) for shopping, there are 3 ATMs in town with great exchange rates. Keep in mind that some ATMs may have a daily withdrawal limit, so plan your withdrawals accordingly. Also, be aware that power outages can occasionally cause ATMs and credit card readers to go offline, so having some local currency in hand can be a helpful backup.
