Why do I need travel insurance for Costa Rica trips?

 

A nature lover's paradise, Costa Rica’s breathtaking biodiversity, lush rainforests, and pristine beaches beckon American travelers in search of a taste of “pura vida,” or the “simple life.” Before setting off on your new adventure in Central America, consider getting travel insurance to help safeguard your finances from unforeseen expenses.

Why? Even with the most diligently planned itinerary, you never know what may happen during your trip to Costa Rica. While enjoying your scheduled plans, you may find yourself unexpectedly slipping off your surfboard at Tamarindo Beach, dealing with a canceled flight to La Fortuna Waterfall, or discovering your luggage is damaged upon arrival in Dominical. If you’re faced with an unforeseen obstacle that comes with surprise expenses during your Costa Rica vacation, travel insurance from Travelex may help you recover unexpected out-of-pocket costs.

So, if you’re dreaming of watching monkeys jump between trees in the rainforest or snorkeling at Caño Island Biological Reserve, don’t forget to keep protection in mind and consider travel insurance for your Costa Rica journey.
