travelling to Costa Rica with children

What documentation do kids under 4 years need to travel to Costa Rica?

Thanks in advance for any info.

passport

we took passports for our girls (they were 2 & 3 yrs old).

We also carried copies of the childrens birth certificates. I don’t remember who advised us to do that, or why, but it couldn’t hurt.

It’s also a good idea to copy the first pages of your pasports and get the hotel to copy your entry stamp after arrival. Carry these copies seperately while out and about, leaving your passports in the hotel safe.

They look crappy, but hotel safes work well for storing documents.

I remember reading in the Surfer’s Guide to Costa Rica: “We are a nation of thieves, not killers.”
