Using your eSIM in Costa Rica
Mobile data in Costa Rica
This is a data-only eSIM card for compatible, unlocked phones, aimed at tourists and people visiting family. These prepaid data plans arrive as a virtual sim card you add in the phone's eSIM slot, and their main features are internet data and hotspot tethering rather than voice service; there is no local phone number, calls or texts. Load it before you leave, then use it to pull up airport pickups, park confirmations and lodge directions.

Save the details.Arenal, Costa Rica
Match the airport to your ticket before booking a transfer.
Juan Santamaría Airport serves San José but sits in Alajuela Province, about 20 miles from downtown. Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIR), also called Liberia Guanacaste Airport, is a separate gateway for Guanacaste, Monteverde and La Fortuna. Copy the airport name from your booking into any transfer request and save the pickup details.
Buses are run by private companies rather than one government service, and San José has no central terminal. Each operator uses its own station and sells tickets its own way, so check the line's own page before you leave the hotel and save the exact departure point. Taking the bus is an affordable way to reach most places.
Save before you goAirport name, transfer pickup point, bus operator and departure terminal.
La Fortuna: pin the park gate, not the mountain.
A La Fortuna stay usually means three separate points: your lodge, a tour pickup and the Arenal Volcano National Park entrance. Save a pin for each. Searching only for 'Arenal' can drop you in a broad area instead of the gate your booking expects.
Check the official park information and visitor recommendations for the current entrance, trails and rules before you go, and save your route and return plan. If you drive, ask your lodge to confirm the final turnoff, since signs can be sparse.
Download a large offline map on Wi-Fi and keep enough battery for the trip back. Forest and hills can cut reception even when your plan still has data.
Save before you goPark entrance, lodge directions and return transport details.
Manuel Antonio: bring the ticket confirmation with you.
Check the official park site online for ticket availability and the current entry rules before you go, and save any confirmation so you can open it without signal at the gate.
When you arrange transport from your lodging, send the park entrance pin and set the return pickup as a separate point. A meeting on the beach and the national park gate are different instructions.
Save ticket attachments and the way back to your room before you head out. Mobile data helps with last-minute changes, but it won't replace a required reservation or guarantee entry.
Save before you goEntry confirmation, current visit rules and return pickup point.
