Central America Travel and Vacation – Good to know

Visa is not required for all countries. Most travelers from Europe and North America can stay up to 90 days without a visa. However, it is important to check if your country has special requirements before traveling. For longer stays, a visa can be applied for online. Many Central American countries also offer visa on arrival, but the conditions vary.
San José (Costa Rica) is excellent for off-road adventures, with access to spectacular national parks. Alternatively, the International Airport in Guatemala City also opens many opportunities. Both airports offer many domestic flights and are ideal for exploring the surrounding adventures with a rental car.
The local currency varies: In Costa Rica it is the Colón, in Guatemala the Quetzal. Credit cards are often accepted, but it is advisable to carry cash for rural areas and smaller providers. ATMs are common in cities, but avoid high fees. It is also wise to keep small amounts in cash ready.
Before traveling to Central America, vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus are recommended. A travel insurance is not mandatory but highly advisable to cover medical expenses. Check local health requirements in advance and follow the tips from the health department. A good travel pharmacy including personal medications can also be helpful.
An international driver's license is recommended for driving in Central America, as local authorities often require it. SIM cards are easy to obtain in most countries, and you can find them at airports or in telecommunication stores. Two of the most well-known providers are Claro and Movistar. It is advisable to compare local plans and ensure you can be reached in case of an emergency.
