What You Need to Know About Costa Rica Network

- Alajuela: Stable signal at Juan Santamaría International Airport and surrounding areas.
- Heredia: Well-covered in the university town and industrial areas, with slightly weaker coverage in the suburbs.
Tourist attractions and suburbs
• The core scenic areas have good coverage, but signal fluctuations may occur in remote areas.
- Arenal Volcano: Stable 4G signal at main viewpoints, may be interrupted in the depths of the rainforest.
- Monteverde Cloud Forest: Good signal in the town center; it's advisable to cache maps in advance for the forest reserve area.
- Pacific coast (e.g., Tamarindo): Beach areas have stable coverage, with some offshore islands requiring a switch to 3G.
Network Usage Tips
Rainforest/mountainous sections
In pristine rainforest areas such as the Osa Peninsula, signals may completely disappear, so it is recommended to download offline maps in advance.
Rural road driving
Some sections of the mountain road connecting Montevideo and San José have no signal, so it is recommended to set up navigation before departure.
Hotels and Homestays
Signal attenuation is significant in some traditional stone masonry buildings. It is recommended to use the network on balconies or in public areas.
Price evaluation
Costa Rica has an 85% coverage rate for 4G networks, with prices at a moderate level. It is recommended to choose a 'Total' type plan (with a data cap) based on the duration of your trip, as it offers better value for money when shared among multiple users. During the rainy season, additional data should be reserved for real-time weather updates.
