DIY Vacation Costa Rica Ideas

By Cynthia Price


Vacations should be affordable and hustle-free. However, this is not always possible when you rely on an agent to plan a trip for you. Though their plans appear better and more professional, there are DIY vacation Costa Rica that will help you organize your trip alone, with friends, family etc, and still enjoy a lot without parting with the hefty commissions paid to agents.

The best tip you will ever get is to begin your planning as early as possible. There are a lot of logistics to consider including gate entry, transport, accommodation, food, route, etc. Most of these are handled by agents but when you have to Do It Yourself, a lot of attention is required. Ignoring some of these aspects could lead to unpleasant experiences that border disaster.

The benefits of planning early include the opportunity to compare prices and still access the facilities you desire. The last minute rush means that you settle for the remaining rooms, transport and might not get entry to some places because of capacity. It also gives you a chance to determine your preferred route and maximally utilize the destinations lined. Comparisons enable you to get excellent value for money.

Vacationing off-season is the best idea if your budget is tight. The best holiday destinations and facilities are usually idle and thus highly subsidized. You also receive attention from tour guides which makes your visits more exciting. You have a chance to get lower prices because competition is reduced. The money you save can be directed to more destinations or allow you to buy gifts and souvenirs.

Local tourism is also as rewarding as international tourism. There are excellent places you ignore just because they are within your locality. In fact, these destinations are also very affordable. Being a few miles away, the logistics are not as complex and you can organize transport and accommodation with relatives or friends.

Did you know that there exist free visit days for national parks each year? This is an exciting time to visit the government administered tourist attractions. Though there are many tourists on these days, it is interesting to interact with people at these venues. There are events like caravans and road-trips organized around these days. Take advantage of the organization and plan your trip alongside.

You do not have to spend alone on idle space and facilities you will not fully utilize. Pool together with friends, family members, colleagues, peers, etc and plan your holiday. One of you will be an entertainer while another is an excellent guide. Another is perfect at organizing logistics while another has the perfect car for the trip. This eliminates the need to use agents and pay a lot of money yet have a restricted experience.

The best way to plan your vacation is to research on the places you intend to visit and begin preparation early. Know about the expected weather conditions and always prepare for an emergency. Utilize your family, colleagues and friends networks to get the best deals. Inform a close friend or family about your plans to ensure that you are covered in case of an emergency.
