So the exchange rates are pretty good for people from the US traveling to Costa Rica these days. You can see from the graph it’s been going up ever since my first trip in 1999, prices have gone up there too, especially costs for tourist type things, but it’s still been a decent value. Especially when you compare it to Britain or Canadian exchange rates, where the dollar has considerably dropped in value lately. It hasn’t really changed much since my last trip but it should be pretty good for my next one, it’s about 520 to $1.00 today.

More info on The exchange rate, some from Wikipedia (currency photos) and from Vacation City (currency photos).
the only thing i don’t understand if US dollar is much weaker on the market today, how come it is the same to the CS currency?
