Costa Rican Travel Update

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Weather & Safety: Costa Rica issued a national green alert as heavy rains since Wednesday are swelling rivers, flooding homes, and bringing down trees. Local impacts: Cartago (Reventado River flash flooding), San José (Montes de Oca monitoring around Los Negritos creek lagoon and flooded roads), and Alajuela (drainage failures and road blockages). Wildlife & Travel Rules: Authorities at Liberia’s airport have seized nearly 8,900 kg of seashells from travelers over six years—shell removal and transport can trigger wildlife trafficking penalties, not just fines. Air Travel: Southwest plans its longest-ever international route: Las Vegas to San José (SJO), launching later this year. Health Watch: The New World screwworm has been confirmed in Texas, raising concern for livestock and, rarely, humans—worth noting for travelers and animal owners.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result. Feedback is welcome. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions about the AGP Executive Report.
