Planning an adventure to Costa Rica? One of the first things you'll likely wonder is, "How much will a trip to Costa Rica cost?" The answer depends on several factors, including your travel style, duration of stay, and activities you wish to indulge in. To help you prepare your budget, we’ve broken down the costs into three primary categories: budget travel, mid-range travel, and luxury travel.

Budget Travel: If you're a backpacker or budget traveler, expect to spend approximately $30-$50 per day. This includes staying in budget accommodations like hostels or guesthouses, eating at local sodas (Costa Rican diners), using public transportation, and engaging in low-cost activities such as hiking in national parks.

Mid-Range Travel: Mid-range travelers who desire more comfort but still wish to keep costs relatively low should budget around $100-$150 per day. This allows for private rooms in mid-range hotels, dining in more diverse restaurants, private or semi-private tours and transportation.

Luxury Travel: For those seeking luxury, expect to spend at least $200-$500 per day or even more. Luxury travelers can enjoy high-end resorts, fine dining experiences, private tours with professional guides, and private transportation.

Remember these are just rough estimates. Costs can fluctuate based on the season, specific locations within Costa Rica, and personal preferences as well as activities. The beauty of Costa Rica is that it caters to all types of travelers and budgets.
