I've been to Costa Rica four times, and moving their to live full time in December. An elderly couple in our hotel had their car broken into and lost some stuff. Petty theft is ramped in Costa Rica, but the strong arm crime doesn't seem to be too bad. The key to stay alert at all times, don't flaunt your wealth in the faces of poor Ticos, and keep a low profile if you live there. Most Ticos are very good people, better than the imported Jamaican gangs that are shooting up Toronto Canada.
@SovereignBodyAndMind 2 things- if you don't know, I must not be doing a very good job of selling it....or I'm not selling anything- merely providing insight and another perception about traveling in Costa Rica.
I'm from Aruba and that whole nathaly haloway thing got crazy, I advice anyone that want's to visit Costa Rica . Ask someone who's been there before because I've been in Tamarindo and Manuel Antonio,not to mention this year I'm heading back to pavones JUST to surf. the point is : ask someone who's been there ,because for me it's heaven
@iCostaRica24 I am sorry, I did not meant trolling on what you are saying on the video. I just wanted to criticize all of the comments below of all the people that were talking shit...
@jeremy280984 yeah,,I'm sorry as well...just get a lot of shit from this video from people who obviously don't watch it.... but No problem...... all is good. thanx
people that get mugged here is because they don't pay the same attention as they do in their country. They think that since Costa Rica is a nice place robberies doesn't happen. You might be on vacation, but that does not mean you're giving up you're basic cautions. If you pay the same attention you pay at any city of the US you'll be just fine
I just got back from CR and had no problems whatsoever.I hardly speak any Spanish too. I was in Quepos and Manuel Antonio every night either alone walking to restaurants or with my group.My last 3 nights i was in downtown San Jose . Though i dident go far from the hotel at night i felt safe walking a block away to the super market at 9PM. I think aslong as you exercise caution you will be fine. Back in my city i am just as prone to being robber as i am in CR this stuff happens everywhere
I only spent one day in Costa Rica and it was very beautiful. It never felt unsafe. However, like anywhere, I'm sure there are good areas and bad areas. There are many places in the U.S. that I never intend to go.
I had a robber jump my 15 high metal gate to steal a 15 watt light bulb. four of my friends had their car broken into in broad daylight, right in front of our house, while visiting. my friend in tibas says you can't even go to the store with more than ten thousand colones cuz ya might get jacked. I live 30 minutes from detroit and i don't lock my doors at night. never felt the need in the slightest. nothing to do with superiority as you claim. they also once broke into my car to steal a babyseat
sure costa rica is safe compared to el salvador or guatamala but doesn't mean it's as advertised.
I miss costa more than words can describe but it's not fun looking over your shoulder every five seconds. go to ascension island, fiji. millions of places that are tropical and safer and CHEAPER.
Go to the canadian embassy and read the bible thick comment book(left for tourist to leave feedback) filled with page after page of people getting robbed. GO THERE.IT'S IN EL OFI- CENTRO EN LA SABANA. READ IT. you will weep at the brutality. it's not hersy, you dumbass.
there were body parts found in between hatillo and la sabana in that nasty river virilla. you know nothing. it's terribly dangerous. THIS IS DISIMFORMATION. I lived there 17 years, even went to school there.
I love your videos and you seem a well-informed and knows what you are talking about. Unfortunately the Internet have a lot of human waste and people who just want to appear.
All my love to Costa Rica and my lovely Tica. By the way, I am from Brazil, my country is huge and beautiful but we have a lot of problems. Anyways, looks like Costa Rica is more peaceful and more healthy and invested more in education. So, let me enjoy this new experience and I hope see you guys around.
@bybeto Thanx....really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Costa Rica is GREAT, but like all countries, it has some things it needs to work. And double thanx for loving our videos.
@bybeto Thanx....really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Costa Rica is GREAT, but like all countries, it has some things it needs to work. And double thanx for loving our videos.
Im costa rican and i got stabbed, but of course, i was at a wrong place at a wrong hour, there is crime everywhere, but if you really want to visit someplace, that shouldnt stop you(warzones are the exeption, lol) With a little reseatrch you should be safe. Thanks for the vid.
I lived during five years in the US and I felt ten times more unsafe during my time there, than I have ever felt while living in Costa Rica. Go take a stroll around Detroit, MI; Stockton, CA; Springfield, IL; Memphis, TN, Flint, MI; Anchorage, AK; and Lubbock, TX where violent crimes are registered in the range of 800 to 1,100 per every 100,000 residents. That's like 10 - 20 times higher in comparison to Costa Rica's rate and in your precious "America". IGNORANT!
Just got back from a 2 week vacation to Jaco Beach. It was amazing, everyone was really polite and in the month I've spent in Costa Rica in the past two years I haven't seen any violent crime.
@shawnhines24 It's not as bad as people make it out to be. If you're on the beach just watch out for your stuff. It's barely a third world country, I honestly see more homeless people and crime in my city in the US then I ever have down there. You definitely need to go to Costa Rica. I believe it is the best place in the world to be.
No creo que usted diga toda la verdad sobre Costa Rica.......tiene casi todos los problemas con la microcriminalidad come todos los paises de america latina. Si uno te entra en casa a robarte y tu estas adentro, y lo descubres, no creo que no te suceda nada. Pero el problema principal de Costa Rica es la presencia de los Gringos, nos estan colonizando pococ a poco.
@BobbyPW Actually, I've walked around San Jose MANY times, late, Late at night without problems,,,not saying I couldn't have one,,,just haven't. And your comment is part of my point....most cities have some element of danger.
i was just in costa rica for 2 weeks, i'm white and so is my friend. we had no problems at all, everybody was very friendly except had some trouble when i wanted to return some things i had bought....but that was it!! i was more scared about walking on the street at night in the dark with no sidewalks than anything else :)
@brittyn You experienced what most people who visit Costa Rica experience- NO PROBLEMS. It's the few that are not prepared that give the country a bad name....thanx for the comment.
@brittyn I am black and so is my wife, and I spent 6 days there last week and no problem. Granted I was not in San Jose or anything but hey these people like drama as if crime doesn't take place where they live.
thanks for the video...its funny how these cr natives are getting mad at you for supporting theircountry...anyhow im going in febuary....visiting arenal and the manuel antonio....any tips for good spots to eat/party in ma? im 25 going with a girl .....thanks joe
my last comment towards this is SORRY GUY BUT IT B.S TO COMPARE TO U.S cities im from BOSTON heres why they hate WHITE PEOPLE sorry but in all major U.S cities there are WHITE people durrr im not racisist at all but they deff got under my skin a few times the GRINGO crap got old quick it wasnt just once or twice it was like everywhere i went you should know you live there i met a couple nice ticos but the majority of them are racisit people guy tried to mug me i broke his nose
ok for all the retards posting b.s comments ill break it down for you the way he didn't.Costa Rica is beautiful visit the country heres the problem there's alot of racisim towards us GRINGO'S [white people] they dont like the majority of us.My advice stay out of San Juan an other cities stick to the coast line the chances for something bad to happen in the city is really high you are a target if your WHITE.I got into 3 fights their but im also in the military ticos are very racisit
@MrDIRTYWATER617 you must be american i was in San Jose for 4 days all different bars and restaurants and once the locals learned i was from Canada they loved it. Im straight up gringo. Maybe they dont like American hill billies that talk down to them? just a thought
stop talking bull shit abouth my country, there more illegal americans living in costa rica than illegal costa ricans living in USA, i live in usa but i have my legal residence and i try to do everithing straight here, stop talking shit, most americans go to my country to smoke weed, becouse there is cheaper, of course the police is corrupted, lot of criminals, what youre expecting! weak up is central american country!!!! I live in New Jersey and not all the gringos are pura vida.
@MrJairo0374 number one, be polite when talking shit on people. Number 2, He's not talking shit, actually he's defending Costa Rica and calling out the article for the bullshit. Not all americans go out there to party unlike most people there. They are educated people, with college dregrees and good heart. Number 3 I'm from Costa Rica and lived in San Jose and Pittsburgh, PA & when ignorant people like you said things like this about Americans, its a shame, Sorry bro not all ticos are ignorant
I agree whit the video I come from MTL, Quebec and is't not different from Costa Rica if you travel in the hot part of a country you may have bad experience, if you respect your self has a tourist you may have a good time anywhere you go.
I forgot!!! I am planning a other trip to costa rica......
That article is right on. There's a PR fueled idea that it is such a peaceful country. Spend some time in San Jose or Jaco let me know what you think about that. Due to CR's proximity to Colombia, there's a big cocaine/crack problem which certainly exacerbates the danger. OK, I was travelling alone, maybe you've got a point. But I travelled alone in many so-called dangerous places with out a problem. already mentioned some, but also, Nairobi, Johanessburg, Tijuana, Kingston, Rio, etc.
@tdtsb695 Spend some time in LA, Vegas, Detroit, Miami,Nashville, Atlanta..... the article is SHIT. Yeah, stuff happens,,,usually bad people doing bad things to other bad people..... traveling here, if you just use a little common sense, the liklihood of something bad happening is almost nil.........
Ticos hate gringos, lived there for over a year, speak Spanish and have travelled to many so-called dangerous places and had a good and peaceful time. Saw more fights, knives and guns in CR than anywhere, ie. Brasil, Mexico, Jamaica. This guy will see it eventually...hope not, because it is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen. Would love to return, probably will, but arrogant Ticos and petty crime and sketchy areas abound. Just my take, sorry if it offends anyone.
I want to reword my comment, now that I see older folks commenting who may not have as much ability to defend themselves. I take for granted my ability to defend myself because I have a lot of training. Regardless, I feel like crime exists everywhere. I've lived all over the world and have yet to find a 100% safe place. Step 1 Don't having a victim mentality. Step 2 Use your head. Step 3. Be prepared to defend yourself IF required. Look into all legal means and get some training. Peace.
Thanks for the tip about not traveling alone. I am 64 and with arthritis and would be alone. I tend to settle down in one place for a month or more at a time--some place where there are a lot of nice restaurants, (I am a lacto-vegetarian.), and travelers to socialize with. i spend several hours a day in my room meditating during the day. I do like to take a walk in the evening after dinner. i am thinking of going to Atenas. Do you have any advice for me.
Thank you for the videogreat info on crim in costa rica.I've been going to Costa Rica since 1985 never had any crime done to me..Never..But again I dont walk at 2 am in san jose drunk.....
@cnejme Obviously you're a seasoned traveler.... I'm not so opposed to walking around drunk at 2 in the morning...I'm just opposed to doing it by yourself....... travel in pairs ( at least)
5 individuals violently beat up 1 man on the floor and then one of the men opened fire and shot the downed man 5 times .... 3 to the chest and 2 to the face.
This happened in Escazu in the parking lot of the MasXmenos near riverside condominiums. This area is supposed to be one of the safer neighborhoods...
Unfortunately, I was stuck in traffic so i witnessed the whole thing. Over 50 people witnessed this last night.. I popped my murder cherry last night.
That article is accurate dude. I've been living here for 7 years and know the local news. That article is 100% accurate. no throwing anything out there. My friend got jacked and forced to make an ATM withdrawl a knife point.
You are a right about the major cities in the U.S. having crime as well and way too much of it, however, again we don't live in a world of metal barred windows and doors, and in San Jose there is not a house without bars surrounding the entire house up to the second floor even so it is not the same here, it is not even close. If CR wants to keep getting tourist business from the US, and this goes for most other Central American countries they better get ahold of the corruption and the crime.
@sgiff Dude, you need to open your eyes....what do you think a gated community is with guard shacks out front and key card entries....they're just prettier bars in rich neighborhoods...and really, you see barred windows all over cities in the US...
@iCostaRica24 Umm, no actually you don't, I don't know what cities you are referring to but I live in Dallas which is a large city and no one has bars on their windows.!! And locks on doors is hardly a comparison.
@sgiff Whatever,,,you're just another American who thinks your country is somehow better, or more immune to criminal activity.... have you been to Detroit...Miami, Nashville or about 20 others...crime is off the charts,,even compared to San Jose.... which really, is my only point, San Jose does have its issues, but so do most cities around the world...
@iCostaRica24 Dude, I spent 18 years in central America and I have been to just about every major city in the US and all 50 states so I know what I am talking about. But if it makes you feel better keep telling yourself that it is all good and fine. Call me when one of the Nico's shows up at your door some night to rob you are jacks you in a back alley. I'll do what I can to help you out because you seem like a nice guy just a little misguided.
@iCostaRica24 again you overlook the obvious becos you don't know costa rica. If you live in detroit you can avoid eight mile. just don't go there. that's what the highway is for. you bypass all the ghettos and it's pretty safe. I cannot drive from escazu to moravia without goin thru some dingy shit neighborhoods. it's impossible. i drove it everyday for five years. daily commute. in the states you get into trouble only when you're looking for it.
Hey, we just went down to Costa Rica and I can tell you that daily the people that we stayed with were telling us about some violent crime happening in San Jose and then a week after we left two friends we stayed with in Cocles were attacked by gunmen with machetes at their house. Everyone warned us down on the coast of how dangerous it was.
@sgiff What's your point? You telling me that stuff doesn't happen in the States? San Jose is like a lot of cities around the world... I also have some friends that lived in a nice part of Las Vegas and were robbed in the same manner,,,,,,, again, what's your point?
@iCostaRica24 My point is you keep going on and on in this video sounding like you are trying to defend Costa Rica and it's problems yet I have grown up in Guatemala and been to other central American Countries, and when I was a kid it was seriously different, the crime down there and Im not just saying Costa Rica is pretty bad, it's a crap ton safer up here in the U.S. and it's a simple thing to prove. Most of the houses up here in the US like 95 percent of them don't have bars on the windows.
Respond to this video... Also, when I was in most of the cities in Costa Rica a few weeks back, I rarely ever saw police period and this last time in Costa Rica not only did I see no police in Puerto Viejo period, I saw a masked bandit standing out in the open near the tourist center and he didn't want his picture taken either but when we walked by him he was clearly selling drugs as he asked us and no one was doing a damn thing about it. This was the middle of the day.
@iCostaRica24 I can tell you that we don't have people running around with machetes and guns and attacking people up here in the U.S. like is common in Mexico near the border and yes apparantly in Costa Rica.
We are down in San Buenaventura (just south of Uvita). The only crime we know of petty theft from cars, and breaking into Gringo homes when they are away. Never heard of any murder in the southern zone of Costa Rica, but then the population here is much lower than the north Pacific.
Costa Rica rocks..I'm from USA and this country has everything....Weather is nice, people 2.. just take care of you personal stuff.... I think u need to do this everytime, everywhere in any part of the planet. Costa Rica pura vidaaaaaa.. hallo at me
thanks, for all this information,, i`m salvadorean, who lives in US, i`ve heard tons, of good things about costa rica,and my next visit to el salvador, i`m planning to go to costa rica,and is good to know , all, this facts about costa rica,,i though costa rica , was safer than the rest of central america countries , but i want to say thanks for this really good information
The U.S. Embassy in San Jose reports on their web site that Costa Rica is the #1 nation in the world for stolen U.S. passports. It is not that the target is actually the passport, but the passport happens to be stolen within the backpack, purse or camera bag.
@bobroenigk NOt sure what I say in this video and since I hate watching myself....I'm pretty sure it's something like....your passport or Backpack do not have to get stolen..... I got another new video that I talk about similar stuff..... but thanx for the perspective.
@bobroenigk true! #1 in the world stolen passports.what is a tico going to do with a passport? most of the expats dont have legal status in CR,only US passport and they need to leave CR for a few days and then come back to CR in order to get xtra 3 months stay in CR.many of them are sick of it and what better way to loos you passport and to wait for a new one.Ofcourse you will come up with the same old excuse"got robbed and passport stolen"
The murder rate for the capital city of San Jose, Costa Rica in 2005 was 9.2 - the murder rate in the US capital Washington DC at 35.40 is nearly four times higher than San Jose, Costa Rica...
It's true CR is dangerous all buildings including houses...even in gated communities have bars on every window . You don't park your car without someone watching it, home invasions happen all the time car jackings happen all the time . The banks had to limit the hours of ATM machines because of robberies. For the size of CR the crime rate is out of control . Petty crimes are not even investigated.
I've been to costa rica several times and actually lived there for many years. all I have to say, in san Jose just be very careful. don't be flashy or walk alone at night. just like in Los Angeles or New York. but the rest of the contry where all the Beauty is such as beaches, rainforest it's pretty safe and quiet........ just don't walk alone late at night with flashy stuff. I only had a problem once in San Jose around a park but I was dumb all alone in a park and got mugged.
I have been to Costa Rica every year for the past 2 years, and I'm going back next month. I have never had any problems. I always travel alone. I've walked around San Jose till the wee hours of the morning and aside from the annoying hookers, nobody bothers you. (the hookers can be aggressive)haha. Puntarenas seems to be more dangerous than San Jose. I say that because in the part of town that I was in even the locals go inside as soon as it gets dark. I figured I should too, they know best!
@allnightermark Couldn't agree with you more. Haven't really hung out in Puntarenas, only traveled through, but heard the same thing about Limon, but then again, why would anyone want to go t Limon...lol
@iCostaRica24 limon was gorgeous in 1990. friendly and safe and radiant. nice coastline and beautiful waves. It had alot of charm. puntarenas is hell on earth. hypodermic needles floatin in the water.can't even surf without a week long battle with diarhea.
The media is intentionally creating an environment of fear. By now the REAL reason should be more clear. Well...not clear but...46 US warships. The two things are connected.
you should do everything in you power to get them out. otherwise they will metastasize like a cancer and destroy your blessed land.
leo8530 What do you expect !!! Late at night, by yourself, you got mugged ? I live in a normal town in Central Florida ( you know snowbirds and such ) and I (former Marine, gun owner, and bad ass ) will not walk down my own street in the middle of the night !!! I probably could by why take a chance ? Not worth the risk in my book. When I come to Costa Rica I will use good common sense and travel the way we did in the Marines ( in 2's). I also have a collapsible baton for good measure.
hi, i hear you but i was mugged in san jose by a street gang less than a block away from my hotel in downtown san jose. it was late at night but i thought i could go to the corner convenience store with out a problem because the hotel said it was okay. i was knocked to the ground by approx 6 gang members and as they were trying to get my wallet they punched me in the nose and tried to burn my face with a cigarette. i have traveled all over mexico , brazil, america and europe so i am travel a lot
@leo8530 Obviously that sucks and I'm sorry to hear it. This is kinda the reason I don't think people should be walking around by themselves.... but I realize you didn't really think anything was going to happen just going to the corner...... I hope the rest of your time in Costa Rica was a good time.
I agree with you. It's incredible how irresponsible some sensationalist journalists and some governments can be (even here). Right, just a bunch of repeaters. Thanks for uploading this great and valuable video. Don't you have a FB profile?
Enjoyed your video - and you're sooo right - fear sells! Granted, there's crime everywhere and everyone has to take precautions - no matter where you live. You mentioned in earlier videos that petty theft is pretty common for tourists, but violent crime isn't a concern - I believe that. So - for people who actually live in CR - what things do you hvae to watch for so you won't be a victim (of petty or violent crime)?
@auctionjjk Living here it seems to center more around getting your things stolen out of your house or business. As far as violent crime and living here, you probably have about the same odds or being a victim that you would where ever it is YOU live.
THANK YOU , You are right on , 5 times no problems , 1800kl. in a rental each time , , a great people , go out of the way to help , we love getting off the path , the tourist places you really have to watch out , Hello intercity U S A !!!, , keep up the good work , positive vibes >))):>
We have the same problem in Canada- some people say violent crime is rising yet the stats don't support it- it's been dropping for years! It's actually safer now than ever but the government wants "tough on crime" legislation. Scare the population. Give me a f'n break.
Maybe the author is an insecure kevlar suit salesman!
And good on you for your righteous indignation and calling them out-
@unfretted1 yeah, it's getting bad here, not that there's not problems....but here, EVERything is so sensationalized...... all about the FEAR factor... thanx for the comment.
Every place has problems- Canada's no different but you're so right - the FEAR Factor. It's funny that people can't see through this- has critical thinking gone out the window? True story here- my brother-in-law and family members went on a Caribbean cruise and when they went on shore they traveled in groups and clung tightly on to their possessions and to one another for fear of being attacked! Always relieved when they got back on the boat. I just shook my head in disbelief
Enjoyed the video and I can relate to everything you said. I've only been to Costa Rica (all the way from England) for 3 weeks, and we felt as safe as anywhere else I have been. I can't imagine anywhere ever coming near as good as Costa Rica was, and we had a lot of heavy nights out on the cacique too!
Anyone going to CR, you should watch all these guys videos cuz they really helped us out when we went!
I've been to Costa Rica four times, and moving their to live full time in December. An elderly couple in our hotel had their car broken into and lost some stuff. Petty theft is ramped in Costa Rica, but the strong arm crime doesn't seem to be too bad. The key to stay alert at all times, don't flaunt your wealth in the faces of poor Ticos, and keep a low profile if you live there. Most Ticos are very good people, better than the imported Jamaican gangs that are shooting up Toronto Canada.

I lived during five years in the US and I felt ten times more unsafe during my time there, than I have ever felt while living in Costa Rica. Go take a stroll around Detroit, MI; Stockton, CA; Springfield, IL; Memphis, TN, Flint, MI; Anchorage, AK; and Lubbock, TX where violent crimes are registered in the range of 800 to 1,100 per every 100,000 residents. That's like 10 - 20 times higher in comparison to Costa Rica's rate and in your precious "America". IGNORANT!

No creo que usted diga toda la verdad sobre Costa Rica.......tiene casi todos los problemas con la microcriminalidad come todos los paises de america latina. Si uno te entra en casa a robarte y tu estas adentro, y lo descubres, no creo que no te suceda nada. Pero el problema principal de Costa Rica es la presencia de los Gringos, nos estan colonizando pococ a poco.

That article is right on. There's a PR fueled idea that it is such a peaceful country. Spend some time in San Jose or Jaco let me know what you think about that. Due to CR's proximity to Colombia, there's a big cocaine/crack problem which certainly exacerbates the danger. OK, I was travelling alone, maybe you've got a point. But I travelled alone in many so-called dangerous places with out a problem. already mentioned some, but also, Nairobi, Johanessburg, Tijuana, Kingston, Rio, etc.

Thanks for the tip about not traveling alone. I am 64 and with arthritis and would be alone. I tend to settle down in one place for a month or more at a time--some place where there are a lot of nice restaurants, (I am a lacto-vegetarian.), and travelers to socialize with. i spend several hours a day in my room meditating during the day. I do like to take a walk in the evening after dinner. i am thinking of going to Atenas. Do you have any advice for me.

5 individuals violently beat up 1 man on the floor and then one of the men opened fire and shot the downed man 5 times .... 3 to the chest and 2 to the face.
This happened in Escazu in the parking lot of the MasXmenos near riverside condominiums. This area is supposed to be one of the safer neighborhoods...
Unfortunately, I was stuck in traffic so i witnessed the whole thing. Over 50 people witnessed this last night.. I popped my murder cherry last night.

You are a right about the major cities in the U.S. having crime as well and way too much of it, however, again we don't live in a world of metal barred windows and doors, and in San Jose there is not a house without bars surrounding the entire house up to the second floor even so it is not the same here, it is not even close. If CR wants to keep getting tourist business from the US, and this goes for most other Central American countries they better get ahold of the corruption and the crime.

@iCostaRica24 My point is you keep going on and on in this video sounding like you are trying to defend Costa Rica and it's problems yet I have grown up in Guatemala and been to other central American Countries, and when I was a kid it was seriously different, the crime down there and Im not just saying Costa Rica is pretty bad, it's a crap ton safer up here in the U.S. and it's a simple thing to prove. Most of the houses up here in the US like 95 percent of them don't have bars on the windows.

Respond to this video... Also, when I was in most of the cities in Costa Rica a few weeks back, I rarely ever saw police period and this last time in Costa Rica not only did I see no police in Puerto Viejo period, I saw a masked bandit standing out in the open near the tourist center and he didn't want his picture taken either but when we walked by him he was clearly selling drugs as he asked us and no one was doing a damn thing about it. This was the middle of the day.

For the size of CR the crime rate is out of control . Petty crimes are not even investigated.

I've been to costa rica several times and actually lived there for many years. all I have to say, in san Jose just be very careful. don't be flashy or walk alone at night. just like in Los Angeles or New York. but the rest of the contry where all the Beauty is such as beaches, rainforest it's pretty safe and quiet........ just don't walk alone late at night with flashy stuff. I only had a problem once in San Jose around a park but I was dumb all alone in a park and got mugged.

I probably could by why take a chance ? Not worth the risk in my book. When I come to Costa Rica I will use good common sense and travel the way we did in the Marines ( in 2's).

So - for people who actually live in CR - what things do you hvae to watch for so you won't be a victim (of petty or violent crime)?
