Costa Rican Snacks: Our Favorite Crunchy Snacks

Who doesn’t love snacks? Yeison and I do and we loooove trying the local snacks whenever we travel abroad. It’s a ton of fun to browse the supermarkets seeing what interesting snacks the locals eat. In Costa Rica, there are a lot of snacks in the chips, crackers and cookies variety.

In this post, I list our favorite snacks.

So here are some of our favorite Costa Rican snacks that we hope you try too! You can find these snacks in nearly all supermarkets and convenience stores.
