eSIM for Costa Rica

Reliable 4G throughout the Central Valley capital with strong data for navigating the historic barrios and the National Theatre area. Signal holds along the entire Avenida Central pedestrian corridor and inside the modern Multiplaza and Plaza del Sol malls, drops inside the older concrete office blocks of the Pavas business district, and weakens on the climb to Poas Volcano at 2,700 meters where the cloud forest elevation thins the line of sight to the nearest tower.

Consistent 4G across the Arenal region with reliable data for the hot springs shuttles and the waterfall trail GPS. Signal holds along the entire road between La Fortuna town and the Arenal Volcano National Park entrance, drops inside the deeper rainforest galleries of the Mistico hanging bridges park, and weakens on the Cerro Chato crater hike where the volcanic slope blocks the line of sight to the nearest tower.

Strong 4G along the southern Caribbean coast with reliable data for the beach hops between Manzanillo and Cahuita. Signal holds along the entire coastal road between Puerto Viejo town and Punta Uva, drops inside the deeper jungle sections of the Gandoca-Manzanillo wildlife refuge, and weakens on the boat rides to Cahuita National Park where the offshore distance blocks the line of sight to the nearest tower.

Coverage drops sharply in the Tortuguero canal system, the deep jungle interior of Corcovado and the Osa Peninsula, the high-altitude Chirripo national park trails, and the remote Nicoya Peninsula beaches. Many smaller towns only have 3G, and the long bus rides through the mountains often have dead zones. Download offline maps and carry a paper backup.
