AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoTourism & Travel Safety: Costa Rica’s El Niño heatwave is already raising heatstroke risk, with the IMN warning of up to 2°C above normal in the North Pacific and advising steady hydration during outdoor trips. Local Travel Disruption: Route 27 will reverse direction for the Pacific beach return today (2–6 p.m., Pozón to Ciudad Colón), with setup starting 1 p.m. and full cleanup until 7 p.m., plus a 60 km/h limit—plan detours or travel earlier/later. Aviation & Money Matters: The dollar exchange rate in Costa Rica is near record lows, which may ease dollar-denominated debt but hits government revenue and anyone paid in colones. International Access: Germany’s 2026 visa-free list includes Costa Rica for up to 90 days (no work allowed), making planning easier for short trips. Culture & Media: The Costa Rica Media Market (Desde el Centro) runs July 14–15 in San José, spotlighting new regional film projects and major industry names. Crime & Travel Risk: The U.S. requested extradition of four suspects (three Costa Ricans and one Mexican) tied to alleged Sinaloa Cartel cocaine trafficking via clandestine air routes from Costa Rica.
