Bolivia Unrest: Protests and road blockades have put Bolivia’s capital La Paz “under siege,” cutting off markets and even emergency hospital oxygen, as unions, peasants and miners press for President Rodrigo Paz’s resignation. Costa Rica Weather: IMN warns of trade-wind humidity and afternoon thunderstorms nationwide, with the hottest conditions in Nicoya; beachgoers should plan early or late. Renewables + AI Pressure: Costa Rica’s near-total renewable electricity is now being pitched to AI data centers, but the big question is whether the grid—and local water—can handle new demand. Lake Arenal Tourism Push: Municipalities and tourism groups back a bill to create a new protected-wilderness category for Lake Arenal, aiming to legalize currently irregular shoreline tourism via concessions. Tourism Safety/Access: Barceló apologized after an Occidental Papagayo case where a guide dog was reportedly refused, sparking a public accessibility debate. Travel Disruption: A Southwest flight from San José to Houston made an emergency landing in Liberia after a reported bird strike. Tourism Momentum: Costa Rica welcomed 1.03M international visitors in Q1, up 11.3% year-on-year.
