Mobile data in Costa Rica
Costa Rica's Claro network provides 4G in San José, La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo and along the main routes. Monteverde, the Osa peninsula and the Caribbean coast at Tortuguero have signal in the towns and gaps in the forest.
- Uber works in San José on data; elsewhere shuttles and rental cars are the norm — download maps, the roads are slow and signposting is thin.
- Arenal and La Fortuna are well covered; Monteverde's cloud forest is not.
- Tortuguero is reached by boat and has limited signal — send messages before you go.
- Rainy afternoons are normal; weather apps and tour confirmations need data.
