Visa: Tourists of many nationalities can get a free 180-day tourist visa upon arrival in Costa Rica. This will vary based on your nationality, so we advise you to check with authorities for the rules applicable to you.
Insurance: As always when travelling, we advise that you have sufficient coverage in the unlikely event of an injury, medical emergency or other unforeseen circumstances.
What to pack
Flip flops and sunscreen
Passport
Beachwear
Sunglasses
Towels: We provide bath towels, but please bring your own beach towels.
Plastic bottles: At Lapoint, we destroy waves, not the planet. Therefore, as a part of our sustainability program, we don’t sell any plastic bottles and try to limit the use of plastic at the camp. In doing so, please bring a reusable water bottle for your trip to Costa Rica. If you don’t own one, don’t worry, we sell environmentally friendly aluminium water bottles at the camp.
Sunscreen: Be aware that the UV index in Costa Rica is very high, so please use sunscreen for living the dream here in paradise! To reduce pollution, we recommend using Oxybenzone-free products to help conserve the ocean, our favourite playground. We sell environmentally friendly zinc at the camp.
