ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

ZIP CODES • Código Postal in Costa Rica


Yes Virginia - Costa Rica actually DOES have
"ZIP CODES"
in Costa Rica!!!  REALLY!!! Did you know that??

Well, actually the word for them is 
Codigo Postals 
as they're called here in Costa Rica

YEAHHH!!! 
Costa Rica is FINALLY coming into the 21st Century (though last I checked with Banco Nacional, they STILL didn't have  them in their system yet - making it hard to order something online that requires a zip code for verification of your card!!  On that note, UNTIL the banks get with it, you will most likely STILL have problems ordering online)!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

SO WHAT IS IT??  

It's a 5 digit code and how it works is:
The 1st digit corresponds to the Province/State. 
The 2nd  2 digits corresponds to the Canton/City and the
Last 2 digits are the District (like San Rafael, Centro, San Antonio, etc.).

So Escazu (San Rafael) is
10203

1 = San Jose (the "Province"•State)
02 = Escazu (the "Canton"•City)
03 = San Rafael (the "District"•Neighborhood)
