Can I use US dollars for the entire trip?


Travel Info
I was wondering how often I will need to have the local currency? For example, taxi, bar and food bill, hotel bill, stores? Obviously, the less money changed is better since there is always a charge to convert.

Travel Tips
Yes you can but it is a hastle and you will be put in positions that personally you will not get a good rate. The money changers on the corner will probably cheat you. Go to a bank when you get to Costa Rica and change dollars or take an atm card at use it at the atms.if you're talking about visiting the states... it depends on the city... here in NYC, you can actually pay for everything you listed with a credit card... so no money needed. yes, even the taxis take credit card.
best that you don't, exchange a couple of hundred dollars to pesos here in the USA before you go to Costa Rica

Change it as you go on the black market, you'll get double the money but dollars ain't worth what they used to be.
Yes. But if you do not know the exact conversion rate you will get cheated by Taxi drivers.
