Costa Rica Border Opening on Aug. 2nd - What are the rules? Who gets in? ✈️ ????????

What's the Covid-19 situation in Costa Rica? Are borders ever going to open? Who is allowed in once they open the borders? What are the rules? What are the restrictions?? Can U.S. citizens enter Costa RIca? If so, how?

Tico Lingo Program Director Chris does his best to address these questions and provide insight on the border opening on AUGUST 2ND.


The first planes carrying tourists have arrived! What are the requirements for entry to Costa Rica?
