Is Costa Rica Water Safe To Drink?

 When you travel, one of the most important questions is if the water is safe to drink wherever you are. However, if your destination of choice is Costa Rica, the drinking water there is fine, so you can be assured that it is safe to drink the water. If you are still uncertain, you can easily buy bottled water, just as you can in North America.

Safe water in foreign countries is a explicit concern. Can you use the water to clean your teeth? Is the water served in the restaurants clean? Can you use ice cubes where you are on vacation or business?

Having been to this beautiful country myself last year, I can understand your anxiety. They were mine too. I did some research on the internet before I went as well. Also when I arrived, everyone assured me the water was safe, but even in the hotel, bottled water was offered. I decided to drink the local water and didn't regret it at all. I felt quite at home. Of course, if I went out for the day, I took bottled water as it was more convenient. I had no ill effects whatsoever.

In this Central American paradise, all water is of good quality, not just the drinking water! The oceans and lakes here are clean and of pristine quality, unlike many other destinations in our world today. The country is extremely eco-friendly and their tourism depends on this fact. You can swim and play in the Pacific and/or Caribbean, depending which coast you are near, and the water is clear and wonderfully warm. Mostly better than at home. There are also many fresh water lakes.

A great tourist destination is Arenal which has an active volcano to its credit, as well as mountains and rainforests. Here you will find incredible thermal hot springs. In the area there are at least eleven different hot springs and indeed some of them have not just one pool but many, often with varying temperatures. Just imagine soaking in nature's hot tub surrounding by beautiful trees, plants, flowers and colorful birds and even monkeys, if you are lucky. Sometimes you can find these hot springs on their own, or they can be part of a hotel.

This tropical country is famous for its breathtaking views and spectacular wild life, and its resolve that the country remain an eco wonder. This is why Costa Rica water is great, both to drink and to play in!
