Over 35 Direct Flights to Guanacaste, Costa Rica – It’s never been easier to fly to Paradise!

Travelers are coming in at record paces and exceeding pre-pandemic travel levels as what is often described as “revenge tourism” continues to influence travel to Costa Rica. After nearly 2 years of lockdowns, mandates, and travel restrictions, people are hungry to experience new adventures and return to enjoying nature.

“Today we have a visitation marked by ‘revenge tourism’; people who spent locked up and stressed have the opportunity and income to go out and enjoy the money saved,” said Rubén Acón, president of the National Chamber of Tourism (Canatur).

Costa Rica has long been considered one of the most desired destinations worldwide due to its eco-friendly lifestyle with lush rainforests, mountains, pristine and magnificent beaches, volcanoes, and activities for every age and hobby. Its wide array of outdoor activities and early moves by Costa Rica’s President Rodrigo Chaves to remove entry requirements and eliminate vaccine and mask mandates have driven a new surge in interest.
