Costa Rica is a country in Central America. It borders to Panama in the South and Nicaragua in the North.
Hitchhiking isn't that popular for long distance rides within the local population. However it works pretty well, especially close to beaches and in remote areas where there is almost no public transport. For hitchhiking the Panamerican highway you might wait a bit more then on the beaches but it s still not bad. Excepting on remote beaches the popular hitchiking with Pick-Up Trucks doesn t work in Costa Rica since its illegal and the police does really give high fines for violation of that law.
