Yes, you do. I can't believe you're going on a trip to a country whose name you can't spell!

Yes. From the US State Department website: For entry into Costa Rica, U.S. citizens must present valid passports that will not expire for at least thirty days after arrival, and a roundtrip/outbound ticket. Passports should be in good condition; Costa Rican immigration will deny entry if the passport is damaged in any way. Costa Rican authorities generally permit U.S. citizens to stay up to ninety days; to stay beyond the period granted, travelers must submit an application for an extension to the Office of Temporary Permits in the Costa Rican Department of Immigration. Tourist visas are usually not extended except under special circumstances, and extension requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. There is a departure tax for short-term visitors. Tourists who stay over ninety days may experience a delay at the airport when departing. Persons who overstayed previously may be denied entry to Costa Rica.

while you're a u . s . citizen, then you definately don't want a passport to shuttle to ANY state interior the U.S., alongside with enormous apple, Florida, Arkansas, HAWAII, California, Idaho or .... ANY of the different 40 4 states. Hawaii has 7 considerable islands. they're ALL area of Hawaii so while you're a U.S. citizen, then you definately can shuttle to any of them without passport. while you're no longer a U.S. citizen, then you definately will want a passport to flow to ANY U.S. state.
