About Costa Rica for visitors

Costa Rica packages biodiversity and adventure into a country barely larger than New Jersey — cloud forests and rainforests blanket both coasts, volcanic peaks rise inland, and beaches range from Caribbean black sand to Pacific surfer's breaks. The nation's stability and ecotourism infrastructure make it the go-to Central American choice for families, backpackers, and retirees seeking warm-weather escapes. Nature lovers find themselves spoiled for choice with wildlife spotting around every corner.

San José's Juan Manuel Santamaría International (SJO) channels the bulk of arrivals into the Central Valley, with Liberia (LIR) on the northwest coast serving an important secondary flow. Immigration processing is generally swift and paperwork-light; queues are orderly and rarely exceed 20 minutes, though evening charter arrivals from North America can create temporary congestion.
