prostitution is legal in panama and costa rica. its kind of legal in the dominican republic. its illegal in cuba but the enforcement is lax and every cop can be bought for like 5 bucks. in mexico its legal but the service sucks it isnt even worth it. thats pretty much it for central america/the carribean.
from our very own state dept's website:i'm pretty sure prostitution isn't legal in costa, i've been there 3 times. amazing country though, everyone should check it out.
Prostitution is legal for persons over the age of 18, and was practiced openly throughout the country, particularly in areas with heavy concentrations of tourists. The penal code prohibits individuals from promoting or facilitating the prostitution of individuals of either sex, regardless of the individual's age, and the penalty is increased if the victim is under the age of 18. There are no specific laws against sex tourism, which was growing; however, law enforcement agencies initiated investigations under existing legislation that prohibits the promotion of prostitution. The government and several advocacy groups also initiated awareness campaigns publicizing the dangers of sex tourism and its association with child sexual exploitation (see section 5, Trafficking in Persons).

btw hi bew
next time you're in san jose go to the hotel del ray. when you get there make a bee line for the blue marlin bar. on any given day/night there are 60-200 working girls there. they need to check in at the bar with their id/health card so if they're blacklisted or disease infested they can't solicit at the bar.interesting, my friend who's from costa rica doesn't even know this. i think i read it somewhere and asked him and he said it wasn't. or does he.....and he was just holding out..
