:airplane: **TRAVEL TIPS**
:::
To help make your experience truly enjoyable, we've compiled this list of tips for traveling to and enjoying MetaCamp!
**Language**
Spanish is Costa Ricaโs language. You will find that English is also widely spoken.
**Safety**
It is very safe and welcoming at Hotel Playa Negra. The hotel has 24-hour security, and we advise while staying at MetaCamp, use the same common-sense rules you'd use at home.
**Currency**
Almost all vendors accept USD and credit cards, but you'll be given change for USD in Costa Rican Colones.
**Cell Service**
An unlocked cell phone will work in Costa Rica. But remember to call your wireless provider before you go to add global roaming capabilities to your plan. You can also buy a SIM prepaid card and use your unlocked cell phone in Costa Rica.
**Items to Bring**
Headlamp, bug spray, hat + reef safe sunscreen, sandals and shoes comfortable to walk in, your favorite games.
If you have any other questions feel free to post in the telegram!
