Question 1

Where can I exchange currency in Limón if I am coming to explore the Costa Rican Caribbean or to visit Tortuguero National Park?

Accepted Answer

Limón is the gateway to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and the perfect base from which to explore Tortuguero National Park and its unique beaches. Having colones ready before venturing into the region is essential, as access to financial services can be limited in more remote areas.

Bring your passport and arrange your currency exchange in Limón before setting off on your excursions along the Costa Rican Caribbean.
