Costa Ricans are a proud bunch, especially when it comes to their sports teams. The national pastime, soccer was huge even before the 2014 World Cup team advanced to the quarter-finals and became national heroes. Now it’s all anybody talks about. Beyond that, Ticos love bullfights, and they’re slowly realizing that the ocean is a fun place to play, be it with a surf board, a stand-up paddleboard, or a fishing pole.

Zip-lining, mountain biking, canyoning, and white-water rafting are all widely popular, particularly among tourists. Although the price is sometimes absurdly high, these outdoor sports can be found across the country. Greetings: When greeting someone for the first time in Costa Rica, a hand shake is acceptable, or more commonly a light “air kiss” to the person’s right cheek. Costa Ricans generally don’t hug anyone who is not family or a very close friend. Polite pleasantries: When greeting someone for the first time in a commercial/business situation – store, restaurant, hotel front desk, tour company, street
