It is about time you step your gorgeous boots out in the snow or your feet in the mud this 2021. Here’s all you need to know if a cheerful stop-over is what’s cooking on your mind this year.

COSTA RICA:

Costa Rica has maintained one of the lowest Covid-19 fatality rates in Latin America and its government has been recognized for its successful management and containment of the virus, so the country reopened on November 1 to everyone who met the requirements, travellers were able to return with a feeling of confidence. Those looking to travel sustainably will also be pleased to see Costa Rica’s progress: This long-time global leader in conservation and sustainability that runs on 99.5% clean and renewable energy plans to achieve complete decarbonisation by 2050.

While 14-day quarantine is not mandatory, travellers have to fill out an online form called “Pase de Salud” (Health Pass). A PCR test for COVID-19 is no longer required for entry into the country from October 26. Traveller’s Medical Insurance – international or purchased in Costa Rica through the National Insurance Institute is mandatory.

Besides its adventure offerings (canopy zip-lining, surfing, whale watching), the country is now enhancing its luxury offerings.

Together with this reopening, open-air activities such as surfing, hiking, canyoning, kayaking, etc are allowed and the visitation schedule of the beaches was extended from 05:00 to 22:00 (Monday to Friday) and from 05:00 to 20:00 (Saturday & Sunday). Additionally, hotels can operate at full capacity, except in its common areas where only mid-capacity is allowed to ensure social distancing.
