Any advice, ideas or warnings for traveling to Costa Rica?

I'm looking for opinions of people who may have visited Costa Rica. In particular, I would be interested the advice, warnings and suggestions from personal experience. I'll be traveling around the country - the rainforest, beach and Gulf coast plains of the volcano. Besides getting vaccines, a visitor should first be prepared?

Tips & Analysis: Be careful with your money and do not flash wads tickets. Do not carry valuables with you. Do not drive in San Jose (trust me here). Experience as much as possible, there is much to do and see and try to make as much as possible in the time / money permits. Oh, and definitely canopy (canopy tour) - it's fun! Meet the people - are so kind and add color to your trip. No forget to tip. With respect to vaccines, I can not get. However, if you hike to the Limon area or near the border with Nicaragua, you should do malaria, otherwise be liberal with your insect repellent and should be fine. Every time you are in a new region, take a guided walk before hiking on their own. Want to know what you can touch and can not touch and behind the flowers that the snakes are hiding. They have a poison fauna here that makes poison ivy looks like an experience nice. Never leave your hotel without your camera, because that's when you find what you want to capture perfect and you are off. Murphy's Law notices.: You do not want to leave ever. Pink Diamond Edition is correct, the crime rate is not so bad, just use common sense as you would any other place that is unfamiliar. Costaricana is right about many things, but I think it is a bit over the top. Dengue is in CR, but not as common. Malaria is only a few areas. Check out this site for shooting straight about the disease in Costa Rica: http://www.therealcostarica.com/health_education_costa_rica/disease_costa_rica.html also I always ice in my drinks, eating salads and fresh fruit for rice in Costa Rica. I said in my first trip to the water (except in very, very rural) was safe, and I have never had a problem. Take some precautions, but it is not necessary to persist more than that.
