Making Phone Calls from Costa Rica
As in: finding a phone somewhere. Costa Rica's rural phone system is quite good by neighboring country standards, but that means that even small towns have a phone. One payphone. Which is shared by all the people who live in the town. So making calls, even from hotels, is sometimes nearly impossible.
Contacting you while you're on your Costa Rican adventure
If your family at home tries to reach you at one of the hotels and can't get through, they should not panic that you've been swallowed by a volcano. In an emergency they should call the Serendipity office and ask us to PAGE your group (the guides carry cell phones which work in about ¾ of the country). Guides also try to call the office each day during a trip to check for messages.
