Archive: Costa Rica During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted international travel to Costa Rica from 2020 through 2022. During that time, our website Two Weeks in Costa Rica provided up-to-date information to help travelers navigate the changing requirements and restrictions.

This page contains all the posts we wrote about COVID-19. We’re keeping it for historical reference only. The information in these posts is outdated, and is largely no longer applicable to travelers visiting Costa Rica today.

Why We Keep This Content

These articles document an unprecedented time in Costa Rica’s tourism history. They may be useful for:

  • Researchers studying pandemic-era travel policies – Our article below about living here through the pandemic was cited in a tourism management book.
  • Travelers curious about how Costa Rica handled the pandemic (in case something similar happens)
  • Our own historical record of living in Costa Rica during this unique time (which definitely had its challenges)
