Tips For Travel and Travel Information About Costa Rica

A relatively small country at just over 19,700 square miles, it is big in adventure. Diverse in ecology including pristine first growth and cloud forests, rainforests, mountainous, active volcanoes, and oceans, the adventurers can't go wrong with a trip to the country of Costa Rica.

Despite its “relatively” small size, choosing to visit Costa Rica requires planning as the diversity as well as the terrain, may make getting around or choosing where to go more difficult. Whether choosing a mountain adventure at a national park, or staying on the coast and enjoying a beach type excursion, there is much to explore.

Like travel to all other countries, planning is more than just figuring out what to see and do. It is also about what to expect, issues relating to your safety, what is required, where and who you should contact and other issues in regards to your safety, and also like traveling to other countries, the government offers travelers destination specific information to help you get there and get around. We have compiled a list of some of the most helpful tips you may want to consider when you plan your next trip to Costa Rica. Whether traveling for the first time or the 10th time, take advantage of the following tips to help you from Tradewinds Vacations.

How To Get There – Unlike other countries outside of the U.S., Costa Rica is quite close and convenient when traveling from the U.S. Just 2.5 miles from Miami and 5 from New York, the U.S. makes up almost 50% of the tourists visiting the country today. Getting there is quite simple as you can even get non stop flights from virtually anywhere in the U.S.

Cost – Though not considered an ultra expensive destination, during certain times of the year it can get costly. Consider planning early or traveling in off season if visiting its more popular regions.

Know Your Limitations – Though some travel here just for the beach, most others are out for an adventure. Remember, a trek through an “actual” rainforest or up the side of an 8 thousand foot volcano is not for the unprepared.

Know How To Communicate – It will be helpful if you have some knowledge of Spanish though most Costa Ricans also know at least some English.

Consider Registering With STEP To Enter – You must present a valid passport, valid for 90 days past your arrival as well as a ticket out of the country as well. You must also be able to prove that you can financially afford to spend at least $100 per month while visiting as well.

How To Pack Better – Lighten Your Load With These Tips From Tradewinds


We often leave things like packing until the last minute. However, our tendency to grab now and think about it later can lead to certain disaster upon arrival to our destination. Realizing, of course, to late, that we have forgotten many items and have packed items unnecessary to our trip, the only way to avoid this disaster from occurring is to plan early. Take advantage of tips on travel including how you can better pack with tips from Tradewinds Travel Club.

  • TSA rules – If you are planning on taking a portion of your trip by air, knowing the rules and regulations in regards to TSA and your airline will help you plan what to and not to bring with you. TSA offers a website with more detailed information in reference to your carry on luggage. Rules such as 3-1-1 and prohibited items will simplify many of your decisions in regards to your luggage.

  • Toiletries - Creatures of habit, none of us likes to use products for our skin or hair that we are not sure are going to be right for us. For this reason, most everyone packs their own items such as shampoo, gel, face wash, shampoo makeup and other products. If you are planning on traveling light, you will want to learn how to better accomplish this as it can take up much of your valuable space. Instead of packing whole bottles, instead purchase small refillable containers and then fill them with your products. If you traveling with only a carry on, these products must all fit in 1, 1 quart bag and be less than 3 oz to be allowed on the plane.

  • Clothing – This is one of the biggest areas for improvement for many travelers. Rather than packing for space, we pack whole outfits. The problem with this is we are often packing too much. Rather than packing whole outfits, pack shirts, pants/shorts/skirts that will fit with more than one outfit. Color coordinate your whole wardrobe and save space.

  • Extras – Often we simply do not know what we will need. From alarm clocks to towels, bathrobes, or even some of our toiletries, many of these items are offered as amenities as our accommodations making it a waste of space in our bags and taking up extra room. Know more about your accommodations and plan what you can actually leave at home and save space.

  • Valuables – This is less about space and more about being wise. If you luggage is lost or damaged and you have decided to bring a valuable item which is also lost or damaged, the restrictions on baggage claims may lead you to lose out. You may not only not be able to replace the items but may not be able to get the full replacement value either.

Choose carefully and plan ahead for what you bring with you on your next vacation and make better use of your time and money. Become a more informed traveler and learn more about travel with news, advice and tips to help you from your friends at Tradewinds Travel Club.

Tradewinds Vacations Cruising Into A New Trend

Is Bigger Better?

For many in the cruise industry, the answer is still a resounding yes. For others why have tried the new large luxury liners as well as the smaller more intimate smaller ships, the answer is no. So why the difference? The difference really comes to the experience itself. This years new ships that have been added to the fleets are the largest yet in keeping with the trend that bigger is better. Vessels that carry well over 2000 passengers, have dozens of restaurants, Broadway shows, bars, casinos and even water parks are truly more like floating cities than anything else. If a floating sea of opportunity is what you want, then the larger liners are more likely to be what you are looking for. So what about those who would rather have a floating village? The industry still offers you the option of fewer activities and yes, fewer people with many of the cruise liners primarily on America's inland waterways.

What Are The Benefits Of Smaller Ships

Aside from not feeling like you are floating in a sea surrounded by a mid town metropolis, the other benefit of a smaller cruise ship is the opportunities that you may be offered. Many who enjoy adventure travel are beginning to see the joy of smaller cruise ships in the inland lakes of America. Alaska cruises that offer Whale watching, kayaking, hiking and different ports of call than the larger ships are drawing a different kind of crowd. These ships however, require an early booking as they only carry between 50 and 100 passengers and fill up relatively quickly.

Choosing Your Cruise line To Suite Your Interests

Options in cruises do exist. From large to small, in and out of the US, tropical destinations to arctic, casinos or castaways, cruising has thousands of options when it comes to planning the perfect vacation for you. It is important that you do your research when choosing the cruise that is right for you. If you are more of a “bed and breakfast” kind of vacationer, check out the smaller lines and smaller ships as a possible option. If you enjoy the high roller, roller coaster/water slide riding kind of excursion, checkout the more mainstream, larger liners found throughout the US. There is usually a cruise that will meet and live up to all of your expectations, you just have to take the time to find it.

Tradewinds Vacations enjoys offering you tips and advice on travel to meet your needs. Follow the latest trends in travel with Tradewinds Vacations as your partner in travel.
