1. As of August 1, 2021, all tourists who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and inoculated with Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson can enter the country without a travel policy. The last dose of the vaccine must have been applied at least 14 days before arrival in Costa Rica.

2. Vaccinated tourists must attach the vaccination certificate to the Health Pass. As proof, vaccination certificates and vaccination cards that contain at least the following information will be accepted:
   • Name of the person who received the vaccine
   • Date of each dose
   • Pharmaceutical house

In the case of U.S. travelers, the "COVID-19 vaccination record card" will be accepted.

Tourists not vaccinated, with incomplete vaccination or vaccinated with a serum other than those admitted by the Costa Rican authorities, must purchase mandatory travel insurance that covers lodging in case of quarantine and medical expenses due to COVID-19 disease as detailed below.

Regarding the policy, you can choose any international insurance company that meets the following requirements:

1. Valid during the entire stay in Costa Rica (coverage dates).
2. $50,000 for medical expenses, including COVID-19 disease.
3. $2,000 for lodging expenses in case of COVID-19 quarantine.

Ask your insurance company for a certificate/letter in English or Spanish stating the following:

1. Name of the person traveling.
2. Validity of the effective policy during the Costa Rica visit (travel dates).
3. Guarantee of coverage for medical expenses in case of COVID 19 in Costa Rica, for at least $50,000.

4. Minimum coverage of $2,000 for lodging expenses for quarantine or trip interruption for this same amount.

This certificate must specify that the policy covers COVID-19 and must be uploaded to the HEALTH PASS to be reviewed and approved by the Costa Rican authorities. Insurance cards are not accepted; it must be a document that allows the verification of the coverage mentioned.

IMPORTANT:

Passengers who test positive will have to comply with the 14-day quarantine period, which must be supported by a travel insurance policy covering lodging, and which was acquired as a requirement for entering Costa Rica.

The well-being and safety of our tour participants and staff members will always be our highest priority.

For that reason, we will be taking important measures to offer a healthy environment during our tours, following health protocols established by local authorities:

• We will require all tour participants to travel with a complete Covid 19 vaccination scheme at least 14 days prior and follow the local health protocols during the tour.
• Our group leaders and bus drivers should be fully vaccinated and trained on safety guidelines and health protocols in order to be part of our tours.
• The use of face masks will be required for all tour participants during transportation in any tour bus or van offered during the tour, and also in places where the face mask is mandatory as indicated by specific signage.

We ask all participants bring their own face masks and hand sanitizer. In addition to face mask use, regular hand washing, and use of hand sanitizer will be encouraged throughout the tour.

• All transportation vehicles will be cleaned, and all surfaces sanitized regularly throughout the tour, and our drivers will have hand sanitizer available for tour participants. If applicable, we will also promote natural ventilation during our travel days.
• All hotels and lodges will be cleaned regularly, with special care on guest rooms and busy areas such as front desks, lobby areas, restaurants, and other common areas.

We will make sure that only those establishments that commit to maintaining required measures of cleanliness and sanitation will be used during our tours.

The same condition will apply for local restaurants and any other establishment visited.

In the event that a participant shows Covid 19 symptoms during the trip, we’ll proceed with the protocol of immediate isolation and having a Covid test done ASAP and paid for by the participant. If the result is positive, isolation will continue for 10 to 14 days or until a negative result is obtained. For this matter, we strongly recommend getting the travel policy to cover all for these expenses
