Default Peeing in Costa Rica (real post)

We'll be driving all over Costa Rica for three weeks with three young
kids - 8, 5 and 3. I wondered what was protocol for handling nature's
call when on long drives? Service station? Banana tree?

Muchisima gracias,

Michael

A descreet tree or behind the car door is fine.

I would avoid service stations as much as possible and have toilet seat
covers and clorox wipes no matter what public toilet is being used.

I travel frequently in Central America (primarily Honduras) and this is
the norm even for the better off locals.

It's bio-degradable, make good fertilizer too.

Even the taxi drivers stop at the side of the road and get out and
pee, right at the side of the road, no tree or nothing...
