Unrest in Nicaragua - Two Weeks in Costa Rica

William asked 6 years ago

Is the unrest in Nicaragua affecting any tourist activities in the north of Costa Rica? We are thinking of Can~o Negro as a possible place to visit, but it’s right on the Nicaraguan border.

Thanks

Hi William,
We have not heard of any problems from the Nicaragua conflict spreading over into Costa Rica. We’ve only heard a warning to avoid actually crossing the border into Nicaragua for the near future. If you are planning to visit that area for a tour, the part of the Cano Negro wildlife refuge that boat tours typically visit are a little south of the border anyway (on the Rio Frio). If you want to stay in that area, you could look a little south, towards the town of Cano Negro and a little bit away from Los Chiles border, just to be cautious.
