The Costa Rica eSIM connects to the country's three main carriers: Kolbi (ICE, the widest nationwide coverage, reaching national parks and rural areas), Movistar Costa Rica, and Claro Costa Rica. 4G covers most of the country and 5G is now live in San José and major urban centers (Heredia, Alajuela, Cartago). Plugs are Type A and B (120V), same as the US. The eSIM Ahora automatically selects the strongest available signal at tourist destinations like Manuel Antonio, Monteverde, and the Nicoya Peninsula.
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) offers limited free WiFi; activate your Costa Rica eSIM before landing. Spanish is the official language, but English is common in tourist areas. The currency is the Costa Rican colón (CRC), though US dollars are widely accepted at hotels and tours. For colones, use Banco Nacional, BAC Credomatic, or Scotiabank Costa Rica ATMs — no commission for Visa/Mastercard up to ₡200,000. Activate your plan before heading to remote destinations like Corcovado or Tortuguero, where signal may be intermittent.
