Last update: 31 minutes ago

Dollar Watch: The U.S. dollar slid to a new historic low against Costa Rica’s colón for a second straight day, closing at ¢453.94 in the wholesale market—good news for travelers paying in colones, but a reminder that exchange rates can swing fast. Aviation & Access: Southwest is adding new nonstop routes from Las Vegas, including service to San José, Costa Rica, as well as Mexico destinations like Los Cabos, Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta. Tourism Spotlight: Juan Santamaría International Airport earned Skytrax’s top spot as the best regional airport in Central America and the Caribbean. Wildlife Coexistence: A new documentary highlights how an Osa community near Corcovado is shifting from hunting to protecting pumas and tapirs—turning coexistence into local livelihoods. Wellness Travel: A new “Permaculture Pinup” retreat series launches in Santa Teresa, mixing food-forest learning, medicinal plants, and nature-based creativity. Local Travel Planning: Canatur backs a push for Costa Rica long weekends, while the Costa Rican Tourism Board continues experiential trade events in Canada.
