'Machismo' is the main characteristic of Costa Rica culture. Costa Ricans are conservative when it comes to family values, and roles between male and female are expected to be traditional.
Tipping: Hotels add a 10% service charge plus a 3% tourist tax to their bills by law. In tourist and upmarket restaurants a tip of 10% is usual, however some establishments already include a 17% sales and service tax in the bill. Taxi drivers are not normally tipped, but tour guides are. In general if service has been particularly good service staff appreciate a 5 to 10% tip.
