Stay connected across Costa Rica

Coverage is reliable in San Jose, the main towns and popular areas like Arenal and Monteverde, connecting through a local Costa Rican network. Coverage can become very limited or unavailable in deep rainforest and remote parts of parks like Tortuguero and Corcovado, so keep offline maps for the jungle.

Using an eSIM in Costa Rica

A Costa Rica eSIM keeps you online as you explore the rainforests, volcanoes and coasts, from Arenal and Monteverde to the beaches of the Pacific and Caribbean. Install it before you fly and switch it on when you land in San Jose.

Towns, coasts and the rainforest

San Jose, the main towns and the popular tourist areas like Arenal, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio are well covered. Coverage can become very limited or unavailable in deep rainforest and remote parts of parks such as Tortuguero and Corcovado, and on the quieter stretches of coast, so download offline maps before heading into the jungle or on a wildlife trip.

How much data

A week of maps, messaging and photos is often around 5-10GB, with two weeks nearer 10-20GB, and more for heavy streaming or hotspot use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Travel eSIM FAQs

Will I have signal in the rainforest and remote parks like Tortuguero and Corcovado?

Coverage can become very limited or unavailable in deep rainforest and remote parts of parks such as Tortuguero and Corcovado. Download offline maps before heading in, and expect to be offline for stretches, which is part of a wildlife trip.

Will it work at the popular spots like Arenal, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio?

Yes, the main tourist areas and the towns around them are well covered, so maps, messaging and photos all work.

Will I have signal on the coasts?

Around the main beach towns, generally yes, but the quieter and more remote stretches of coast can thin. Keep offline maps for a day exploring.

Can I use maps and ride-hailing as soon as I land?

Yes. Because you install the eSIM before you travel, maps and ride-hailing work the moment you connect on arrival in San Jose.

Does one plan cover the whole country?

Yes, the same eSIM works as you travel between the coasts, volcanoes and rainforest, with coverage varying by area and the jungle thinning as above.

How much data will I need for two weeks in Costa Rica?

A week is often around 5-10GB and two weeks nearer 10-20GB, with more for streaming or hotspot use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Can I top-up or extend the plan later?

Top-up availability depends on the plan. Some eSIMs can be topped up, including certain unlimited plans, while others may require a new plan once the current one ends or runs out. Check the individual plan details for your selected option.
