Saily’s Costa Rica eSIM starts at $7.99 for 1 GB. For about a week, the 5 GB plan ($26.99) covers maps, rides and messaging.
The catch: Costa Rica data costs more than in most destinations.
Costa Rica trips cover volcanoes, cloud forest and two coasts, usually by rental car or shuttle. Maps and Waze matter on mountain roads, and a Costa Rica eSIM is ready when you land in San José or Liberia.
