Travel Advice for Ladies

Costa Rica is an awesome place and well worth the visit



"I live in Paradise, but YOU need to watch your back"



Some precautions can make your vacation a beautiful memory.

"Knowledge is Power"

Some countries think that tourists have tons of money..

      

"So much money, so little time"



That being said, brings us to the main problem against tourists in Costa Rica.  Theft Of Opportunity .



"Hey Buddy, this is mine, not Yours"



This pertains to theft of personal belongings,

passports and travel documents.

These crimes seem to be increasing.  Violent crimes have also been reported, such as armed robberies and gang activity in bigger cities.

Personal attacks, sexual offenses and rapes have increased over the last few years.  Spiked drinks have been reported.  Don't leave your drinks unattended in bars or restaurants.



"We heard about your tricks"



Kidnapping called "Express Kidnapping" has occurred in Costa Rica.  This crime consists where victims are forced at gunpoint to withdraw money from ATMs.  The victims are selected at random and released once the robber has taken their money.



"Too many people know about me now"












Avoid hiking or visiting nature trails alone or with inexperienced guides.  Always use a guide that is affiliated with a reputable tour company.   Many people offer guide services but are not reputable and can put your life in danger.

"I shouldn't be here alone"

Avoid visiting the beaches alone or at night.  Stay with groups.

 

"Safety in Numbers Thing"

If staying in hostels, keep your belongings under lock and key.  Watch your belongings at all times and in all places.



Take official taxis.  There are unofficial taxis that have been involved with violence against tourists.



"I am Official"



 

I always say "Don't bring anything to Costa Rica that you can't live without.   Like jewelry

"Please leave me at home"

If you forget any of these tips, just remember  

"Yes, this works every time"
