Costa Rica is Open for Travel!
We are your travel expert, here to keep you up-to-date and in-the-know with the latest Costa Rica travel news! Since March 18, 2020, the Costa Rican borders have been closed to international travelers. The Costa Rica tourism board has been doing its part to keep COVID cases to a minimum in Costa Rica—and we’re grateful for this!
We are incredibly excited to announce that Costa Rica is reopening its borders to all U.S. states on November 1, 2020.
Here’s what you need to know:
Yes, it is! Take a look at our recent Costa Rica travel update to see the U.S. states that have been approved to travel to Costa Rica as of October 1st. According to the Costa Rica U.S. Embassy, residents from Florida, Georgia and Texas can enter Costa Rica as of October 15, 2020.
And the moment we’ve all been waiting for… *drum roll*… as of November 1, 2020, all U.S. citizens can travel from the U.S. to Costa Rica! We can’t wait to visit Costa Rica again, but we still want to make sure our fellow travelers are safe amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The U.S. Department of State has deemed Costa Rica unsafe to travel as of August 6, 2020. This Costa Rica travel advisory is due to the CDC’s Level 3 Travel Health Notice regarding the Coronavirus.
So although Costa Rica is opening its borders, this doesn’t mean we can disregard the current disease state of COVID-19. As your expert travel guide, it’s our mission to ensure that you’re safe on your Costa Rican adventure! We will never advise you to do anything that may jeopardize your health, and the health of your family and friends.
Please use caution! Do your research! Stay informed with the latest travel advisory updates before making a travel decision.
Before planning your trip to Costa Rica, there are a few things you’ll need to know to ensure a safe adventure.
You’ll also need to purchase travel insurance to cover your accommodations in case you contract the virus during your travels. (Travel insurance can be as low as $12 a day! Depending on how long you stay in Costa Rica, this daily rate may be lower too.)
Protect yourself and others by maintaining safe distances from people and wearing a mask over your nose and mouth at all times in public. If you don’t follow the protocols in Costa Rica, you can be fined for non-compliance. Be respectful of the locals, of your friends, and of your family!
If you’re nervous to travel right now, rest assured that your amazing adventure will still await you once the U.S. Department of State has given the ‘all-clear’ for Costa Rica travel. In fact, taking this time to plan your trip now during the pandemic gives you plenty of time to create the perfect Costa Rican adventure! When we work with you to create your Costa Rica trip, we’ll pinpoint any places you want to explore, excursions you want to experience, or foods you want to try, to plan a trip that meets your adventure goals!
If you’re nervous to travel right now, plan today and travel in the near future. We want you to have clear expectations of what you’ll experience on your Costa Rica trip and we understand that traveling during COVID-19 can be nerve-wracking. It’s our goal to communicate any restrictions or areas of caution to you with complete transparency and honesty.
