Explore Costa Rica with data you can rely on — from Manuel Antonio's wildlife to Arenal's hot springs and Monteverde's cloud forests. A Costa Rica eSIM keeps you connected for booking tours, navigating mountain roads, and sharing those pura vida moments.
From booking zip-line tours in Monteverde to navigating the winding roads to Manuel Antonio, data keeps your Costa Rica trip running smoothly. Uber works in the Central Valley, and WhatsApp is essential for tour coordination. With a Costa Rica eSIM from LATAM Travellers, you'll have data working the moment you land—no hunting for SIM card shops or dealing with local paperwork.
Costa Rica pioneered eco-tourism and remains one of Central America's most popular destinations—cloud forests, active volcanoes, Pacific and Caribbean beaches, and wildlife encounters around every corner.
Where you'll have signal: San José, La Fortuna, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, Puerto Viejo
4G coverage is excellent across Costa Rica's tourist corridor. Even smaller beach towns like Tamarindo and Puerto Viejo have reliable signal. Remote jungle lodges may rely on WiFi.
Networks: Your Costa Rica eSIM connects to Kölbi (ICE), Movistar, Claro—the same networks locals use.
Travel Tip: Waze is more popular than Google Maps with locals—both work well for navigating Costa Rica's sometimes confusing roads.
