CR Nomads is the first digital solution created to connect digital nomads and working travelers from all over the world with services and information that can help improve their stay in our beautiful country.
Our site is 100 % made in Costa Rica by tech-savvy natives and locals, unlike other travel guides or blogs you might find online.
CR Nomads is an aggregator created specifically to solve the needs of a digital nomad or anyone who works while traveling throughout the country. We only advertise reliable and specialized providers that deliver trustworthy service for your journeys and business activities.
Whether you plan to stay in Costa Rica for a week, a month or a year, you will find advice on accommodations, tours, transportation, workspaces, insurance, visas and legal assistance. Our blog also features plenty of recommendations for food, events, activities, and other topics of interest for working travelers.
Why is Costa Rica a great destination for working while you travel?
- Ideal time zone for remote workers from the US and Canada.
- Wide range of direct flights from large North American, European and Latin American cities.
- The recent extension of the tourist visa to 180 days (previously 90).
- Digital Nomad Visa Program (for stays of more than one year) since 2022.
That said, we hope any modern traveler finds valuable and helpful resources on our site!
What is the purpose of CR Nomads?
In recent years, many jobs and companies have enabled employees and freelancers to work from anywhere in the world, creating a new generation of travelers with specific needs, requirements and tastes.
Although there are many workers who cannot be classified as full-time digital nomads, international trends indicate that remote work and greater flexibility to work while traveling will be key for the tourism market during this decade: this modality is known as “workation”, hybrid travel or blended leisure.
This means that finding the right local expertise and up-to-date information in English when planning to visit Costa Rica is more necessary than ever before.
At the same time, the influx of such travelers to Costa Rica also means that concerns over gentrification, overtourism, and environmental impact have become a growing issue in the country.
A key part of our mission is to contribute to a more advanced and sustainable form of tourism, with an emphasis on reliable Costa Rican services and providers committed to quality and excellent service, while also working toward the well-being and benefit of our environment and local communities.
These days, the perception of what a digital nomad or “working traveler” means to the local population can be controversial, but it can certainly be enhanced and improved. Costa Rica is no exception to this phenomenon, so our objective is to steer both visitors and services in a more positive and viable direction.
Thank you for visiting CR Nomads: we hope to be an asset for an enjoyable visit!
