Border Crossing Nicaragua - Costa Rica
Just crossed the border to Costa Rica at Penas Blancas. Cost us about 3 hours for 4 Bikes.
Procedure:
Exit at Nicaragua side. Pay 1 Dollar municipal, drive than to imigration office on left side. There are guys with blue shirts (like the guy at entry who checked ur bike) who will check ur bike out. Then u need to find a police officer to sign that paper. (u can take a guide for 2 Dollars, but it is not needed). Then go to Immigration, there are three counter. At one u check out the bike, at the other urself. Cost is another 2 Dollars.
Then ride to COsta Rica.
1. Fumigation. Its 2.50 Dollar.
2. RIde on to Immigration. u get entry stamp at no cost. (same form to fill out as always).
3. then they force you to buy insurance in the same building. costs are 10 Dollars per Bike.
4 then cross the street to Aduana (they force u to do insurance first). they fill out the standard papers, u do some papers. No costs. You get some papers.
5. ride on. 100 meters further on right there is a police/Aduana building. Pass the papers and ur titel and licence and passsport. He gives u the final permit. No costs.
DOne. Long and confusing but easy possible without a guide. No begging kids, some money changers.
