Be open to trying new foods and experiences, such as local dishes and activities. Consider booking tours or activities in advance to avoid disappointment. Be mindful of your surroundings and keep your valuables safe. Trying local cuisine and drinks, such as vigoron, quesillo or nacatamal and Ron Flor de Caña in Niacaragua, gallo pinto, rice with chicken, ceviche and the guaro in Costa Rica, seafood in Bocas del Toro and Ron Abuelo in Panama.
