NOTE: When this video was filmed, I forgot to bring our RE-USABLE GROCERY BAGS with us to the store. We do our best to reduce our carbon footprint by recycling as much as we can, bringing re-usable bags to shop with and maintaining a robust compost for use in our yard/garden. Walmart, as everyone knows, is a huge corporation with stores around the world. Being from the USA, I have grown up with Walmart being part of every community I have lived in. However, it was not until I started spending time in Costa Rica, that I actually grew to appreciate Walmart. My experience with Walmart in the USA has not been great. In my experience, most of the USA locations are messy, disorganized and the employee's usually seem to be apathetic. Of course there have been a few exceptions to that and not every experience was bad.
However, here in Costa Rica, the stores are very clean, well organized and the employee's take pride in their work. This store is located in La Lima, Cartago, Costa Rica. I've never had a negative experience in a Costa Rica Walmart. So, I hope this little video shows that outside the USA, the shopping experience at a Walmart can be very different than in the States.

NOTE: THIS IS BASED ON MY GENERAL EXPERIENCES. I RECOGNIZE THAT NOT ALL WALMART STORES IN THE USA ARE BAD. NOR ARE ALL WALMART STORES IN COSTA RICA GREAT.

Shopping at a Costa Rica rebranded Walmart | BIG DIFFERENCE from USA!!

Today, we go shopping at Costa Rica's rebranding of Walmart known as Maxi Pali. We take you inside the store, do some shopping and show you some foods that are unique to Costa Rica that you wouldn't otherwise find in USA Walmart stores.

This Maxi Pali is located in Grecia, Costa Rica and is extremely popular amongst the locals. It offers the same Great Value prices and selection as most Walmarts as well as many other items that are specific to Costa Rica.

Hope you enjoy the journey!

Must try items include:
1. Santa Cruz Frijoles Molidos (refried beans)
2. Lizano Salsa
3. Vital 100% natural bread - semillas (seeds)

Key differences:
1. Walmart and all of their rebranded stores here in CR are MUCH cleaner and more organized.
2. The employees take pride in their work and provide EXCEPTIONAL customer service.
3. Food is even cheaper and you don't have to worry about out of stock items like baby formula or toilet paper.

Cowboy for a day in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Ever dreamed of being a cowboy or cowgirl? Riding the range under an expansive blue sky herding cattle and enjoying the freedom of open spaces?

You have your chance at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelín, located in the heart of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste ranch land at the foot of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano. Spend the day being a cowboy / cowgirl in the company of our real, authentic “Sabañeros Guanacastecos” (Guanacaste cowboys). Besides being an eco-adventure hotel, Hacienda Guachipelín is an actual working horse and cattle ranch.

What One Dollar Equals in Costa Rica

We are often asked how is the exchange rate determined in Costa Rica, or more specifically, what one dollar equals in Costa Rica. The money in Costa is the colon and the plural is colones. Interesting history lesson here. If you guessed the colones was named after Christopher Columbus, you would be correct!

Evelyn Gallardo, owner of the Discovery Beach House ( in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, and her Concierge, Sabrina, discuss the colorful Costa Rican colones, and how to determine the equivalent dollars to colones. They also cover the best places to exchange your dollars for colones in Costa Rica and whether the US dollars are also accepted in Costa Rica.

We hope this helps you in planning your next Costa Rica vacation. We definitely hope to see you in Manuel Antonio at the Discovery Beach House.

Change Dollars and SIMM cards at San Jose Airport Costa Rica

Off the plane, down the escalator, see two booths. Money changing and SIMM cards.

We traveled with a press tour group. Pearlman changed dollars at the booth. Not the best rate of exchange. However, the tour group never stopped for money changing at a bank.

Actually, changing dollars for colones is not necessary in Costa Rica. The US dollar is the second currency of the country. The problem is the rate of exchange. The week we traveled, the official rate offered 570 colones to the dollar. When buying with dollars, we often received only 500, almost a 9% loss.

A greater loss came from buying at the expensive markets near the hotels. The tour operator placed us in luxury hotels. We remained in the tourist bubble the entire week in Costa Rica --

--- except when we took the City Tour through San Jose. In a bus, with a guide, rushing from site to site in the city. A good introduction to the city and the people.

All decent, very often kind and generous, never objecting to this foreigner with a video camera.

Watch for more videos coming of that beautiful and environmentally progressive nation.

Costa Rica, the nation of rain forests and welcoming people.
