After three accidents and and some spanish lessons I've left Cali Colombia (and some of the world's most beautiful women) and am in Jaco Costa Rica near Playa Hermosa with a healthy swell pumping through the area.
With its notoriously tough immigration policies getting in to Costa Rica was tough! Costa Rica has implemented a new entry requirement that bears some discussion. If you are coming into Costa Rica from Central or South America you are required to have a yellow fever vaccination card. Its a yellow card that documents this shot. Whats worse is that after the shot you are suppose to wait 11 days for the results before entry will be allowed. In my case they wouldn't let me board in Cali.
There are a couple of ways around the system if you find yourself in this situation. In my case I cancelled my flight and booked a flight to Miami. I then booked a flight on another airline to Costa Rica. The next day I flew to Costa Rica and made it through immigration without any issues.
Someone also told me that you can fly to Panama and get the shot. For about $100.00 they willl back date the shot records.
