Every traveler expects a perfect vacation, one of charter tours and family fun.
Occasionally, however, those expectations are shattered by an emergency - and tourists may find themselves unaware of what to do or who to contact. They can become overwhelmed and waste precious time.
Costa Rica Vacation wants its readers to be safe while exploring the Central Pacific, which is why we now offer some important emergency information:
Dial 911
This number connects travelers directly to local police officials, many who speak English.
Dial 128
This number connects travelers to the Red Cross, which provides ambulance services throughout the entire country.
Seek Out A Clinic
Hospitals are not found in every Costa Rican town. Areas like Los Suenos, Jaco and Manuel Antonio instead feature clinics or clinicas. These offer basic medical services and can also contact larger facilities if needed.
Visit A Pharmacy
Local pharmacies, or farmacias, offer a wide variety of medications - both over-the-counter and prescription. They will sell goods to individuals who offer current visas or documentation.
