Connectivity and Costa Rica’s biodiversity

Connectivity

Costa Rica is located in Central America, south of Nicaragua and north of Panama. The country has two main international airports, Juan Santamaría International Airport, near the capital of San José, and Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in the country’s northeastern Guanacaste province. Coming to Costa Rica is easy from the main cities of Latin America, North America, and Europe, with twenty-nine airlines offering over 500 flights per week. Also, numerous daily flights connect Juan Santamaría International Airport with the nearby hub of the Americas, Tocumen International Airport in Panama City

Paradise just a fly away

It’s because of Costa Rica’s accessibility and its tourism qualities that the largest airlines have announced an increase in their flights to the country. One of them announced two additional daily flights from Dallas to Costa Rica since 2019. Another airline announced an increased number of flights between Costa Rica and Toronto, which resulted in a 36% boost in the number of seats between 2018 and 2019. Furthermore, it provided service during September and October, when operations had previously been interrupted. In terms of port infrastructure, the country jumped from 89th to become the regional leader in total connectivity thanks to the opening of the Moín Container Terminal, according to data from the World Economic Forum. For the first time, the country will have a direct connection between Moín Port and the markets of Europe and Asia without the need to ship goods overland.

Nature exhales harmony to the soul

On the other hand, the advantage of being a small country that is home to 5% of the world’s biodiversity is that many of the attractions are very close to one another, for example, visitors can enjoy the warmth of our beaches at less than a 2-hour journey from the capital. Once the meeting has taken place, participants can choose to enjoy the lush mountains or choose a tour closer to their lodgings.
