The answer varies by location. In some places, such as resorts, plumbing systems can handle toilet paper. However, this is not the case everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some parts of Costa Rica, especially in older buildings or rural areas, plumbing is more delicate, and flushing toilet paper may lead to blockages. Here, you&#8217;ll often find a waste bin beside the toilet for used paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Being in a rural area, our plumbing system is not set up to handle toilet paper, so we ask guests to use the waste bin at <a href=\"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/accommodations\/rio-vista-lodge\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1120\">Rio Vista Lodge<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/accommodations\/turrialba-vista\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1229\">Turrialba Vista.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid plumbing woes, it&#8217;s best to observe local practices. If you see a bin provided, use it. This practice, while different from what many are used to, helps maintain the local sanitation infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, while you can flush toilet paper in many places in Costa Rica, it&#8217;s important to heed signs and local customs to ensure you&#8217;re respecting the local sanitation systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secci\u00f3n de lectura previa <\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":29093,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-costa-rica"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":16,"label":"Costa Rica"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pura-vida-toilet-paper.webp",1024,1024,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Staff","author_link":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/author\/staff\/"},"comment_info":3,"category_info":[{"term_id":16,"name":"Costa Rica","slug":"costa-rica","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":16,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":28,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":16,"category_count":28,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Costa Rica","category_nicename":"costa-rica","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18201"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33456,"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18201\/revisions\/33456"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacuareoutdoorcenter.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
