What kind of money/currency do we bring?


Besides local Costa Rican colon, American dollars are widely accepted throughout Costa Rica. Use this currency converter to check current exchange rates:

 

Currency converter

 At Banana Azul we accept Visa, MasterCard, US$ cash and Costa Rican colones. We do not accept Traveller's Checks, Canadian Dollars or Euro.  You’ll have to exchange in town at a money exchange or local bank.  But, be prepared... Anything outside US $ currency, you will get killed on exchange rate.  


For best possible exchange rates, always go to a local bank.  However, you must have your physical passport (not a copy) to do the exchange.  Do not buy Costa Rica colons at the airport.  The exchange rate is extortionate.
