Modern, reliable infrastructure is a prerequisite for successful nearshore operations. Costa Rica’s telecommunications network, road connectivity, port access, and power grid all meet the standards required by multinational operators.
Telecommunications
Costa Rica has among the highest internet penetration and broadband speeds in Central America, with fiber optic connectivity available in all major business districts. Multiple tier-1 telecom providers (ICE, Claro, Liberty) offer redundant enterprise connectivity.
Air Connectivity
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) serves over 40 direct routes including multiple daily non-stop flights to US hubs (Miami, New York, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles). Flight time to Miami: 2.5 hours. Essential for management travel.
Road & Port Infrastructure
The Pan-American Highway and expanding toll road network connect San Jose to both coasts. Puerto Limón (Caribbean) and Puerto Caldera (Pacific) serve containerized cargo — critical for manufacturing and import/export operations.
Power & Utilities
Costa Rica generates over 99% of its electricity from renewable sources (hydro, geothermal, wind) with rates below US averages. This is a significant advantage for energy-intensive manufacturing and a strong ESG story for multinational operators.
