My advice is to take a lot of US 1 dollar bills with you. It's easier to leave as a tip than searching for a 500 colones coin.

They no longer sell departure stamps outside the airport...all sales are inside the airport.
To avoid long lines at the airport, you can buy the departure vouchers at the Cartago Bank near Parque Central

DG


Can you buy the departure stamp when you arrive at the airport?

Yep. There is a little desk just before customs you can stop at and buy it. If you miss it, you can go upstairs and purchase it as well. I always grab mine on the way to customs.

Any particular reason why you keep on bumping your own thread? If it that important to you to keep it at the top of the list, why don't you just ask Admin to make it a sticky?

I agree on the one dollar bills.
I usually take a wad and they are appreciated.

Of course my girlfriends appreciate the 100 bills more....and I love my novias.

I think I told some friends that all my girlfriends and my friends girlfriends came from the Park hotel. That is true.
