Planning Your Medical Travel To

Costa Rica

Book your procedure in San José with hospitals like CIMA or Clinica Biblica. Most visitors receive a 90-day visa on arrival. Airport pickup is often offered. Days 1–2 include imaging and consultation. Surgeries take place on Days 3–5, with recovery at eco-retreats or private villas. Costa Rica is ideal for post-op healing—volcanic hot springs and beach lodges are popular. English is spoken in most hospitals. Gentle outings to Arenal or cloud forests can aid recovery. A final hospital check-up is typically scheduled by Day 10–12 before departure. Costa Rica offers a calm, nature-filled healing atmosphere.
