This is a digital age, with travelers utilizing endless cords, cables and battery buttons to schedule their vacations.

Keeping all of those applications functioning properly can prove difficult, however. Every country’s electrical system differs, and many beloved tablets and smartphones simply can’t adapt to the changes.

Those traveling to Costa Rica may find some relief, though.

The Central Pacific - Los Suenos, Jaco, Manuel Antonio and other coastal towns - functions at 110 volts, an American standard. This allows U.S., Canadian and South American citizens to use their favorite items with ease. All equipment is compatible.

Visitors from Europe and Asia will find the connections less accommodating. Their voltage rates tend to be higher, and their products can overwhelm the system. Closing circuits is possible, though, with help from two-prong adapters and Ethernet lines.
