There are so many picturesque landscapes in this country that you will literally at every step have the opportunity to take beautiful photos and just enjoy the moment. In addition, there are many equipped stops along popular routes where you can grab a bite to eat, buy souvenirs or have a cup of coffee.

To drive in Costa Rica as a foreigner, you will need your original passport, a valid tourist visa or entry stamp, and a valid original driver’s license from your country. The big advantage is that you don’t need an international driving license in Costa Rica.

However, if your driver’s license is not in Latin, you will need to obtain an international driving license. Also, you cannot use a photocopy of your driver’s license. Car rental companies in Costa Rica require an original, valid driver’s license. Even if you have already ordered from the same company, you need to bring your original driver’s license with you every time.

Hello! I'm Darina Logvinova. My life is full of interesting events. And I want to share this with you. My passion is to travel. Perhaps there is nothing more surprising and impressive than discovering new countries, new cultures, cities, uniquely beautiful places. Travel is life. This is what always gives strength, energy, and desire to go forward. It's so hard to wake up early for work, but it's so easy - to the airport or to the train =)
I am also a fan of psychology. I believe that it is impossible to have a harmonious relationship with yourself and with the people around you, without understanding anything about our inner world. Many world-famous authors set out their thoughts in books, they are very smart and talented people who share their knowledge and experience. There is nothing easier than buying a book and learning something new from the geniuses of psychology. Our feelings and emotions are very multifaceted. We all perceive the world in different ways and we need to be able to respect and understand this. Everything that we wish will certainly come true, you need to be able to dream about it correctly. The universe does not limit anyone. It is full of supplies for each of us. Psychology is a very important science for humanity. The more the world develops, the more people understand this. The more we are tolerant to ourselves and to all people, the more good there will be in our lives and in the whole world. Development is the driving force behind humanity. We simply cannot afford to stand still, otherwise, our life loses all meaning. Every day, discovering something new for ourselves, we move forward towards our goals.
