Costa Rica: Where Else Can You Have A Nice Lunch For $3.00?

By Jane Goodwin | August 9, 2007

The roads in Costa Rica might not be all that great yet, but the quality level of almost everything you’ll find along those roads is really, really high. The average hotel or restaurant here is very inexpensive compared to comparable hotels or restaurant in the States. Try to imagine a double room in an average hotel/motel for under fifty dollars. In the States, it’s not going to happen, but in Costa Rica? Definitely!

This past weekend in Chicago, it cost me just under twenty dollars to take a taxi twelve blocks; in Costa Rica, you can ride clear across town in a cab for $5.00.

Costa Rica has many beautiful national parks, and admission to most of them is under $12.00 for a carload. There is a small state park not far from my home in Indiana that costs ten dollars per person, including children. And it has no volcanoes, mountains, or beaches, either.

All told, Costa Rican prices are great; you’ll get more bang for your buck than you would for that same buck in the States.

Come on now, where else are you going to get 40 bananas for a dollar? At Kroger’s? I don’t THINK so. . . . .
