'''Costa Rica''' is a country in [[Central America]]. It borders [[Panama]] in the South and [[Nicaragua]] in the North.
While hitchhiking isn't customary for long distance rides among the local population, it works pretty well in fact, especially close to beaches and in remote areas where there is almost no public transport. Nevertheless it might appear more difficult here than in other neighbouring countries, although it depends where.
Except in remote places, hitchhiking on the back of pick-up trucks like in other Central American countries doesn't work in Costa Rica as it is illegal − the police give high fines for violations of this particular law. Your lifts will come with other sorts of vehicles.
