Affiliate Disclosure
Full disclosure of how commercial links work on this site.
The short version
- Some links on Pura Vida Compass are affiliate links. If you book through them, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
- We only include booking options that are relevant to planning a Costa Rica trip.
Partners we work with
- GetYourGuide is an active partner: tours and activities links on this site are GetYourGuide affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you book through them.
- Viator is an active partner through the Viator Partner Programme: tour, day trip and transfer links may also go to Viator, and we may earn a commission when you book through them. Tour blocks show both partners so you can compare.
- Expedia is an active partner through the Expedia Group Affiliate Hub: accommodation links go to Expedia and may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
- Discover Cars is an active partner: rental car comparison links go to Discover Cars and may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
- Travelpayouts is an active partner: flight search links (Aviasales) carry our Travelpayouts marker and may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
- We also prepare for eSIM connectivity and travel insurance partners. The active provider behind each button is configurable, so a category may change provider over time.
- Buttons whose tracking is not yet configured say so directly beneath the link.
How it affects editorial content
- Affiliate relationships do not influence destination scores, rankings or matcher results.
- We do not claim to have personally verified specific hotels, tours or prices unless we say so explicitly.
- Insurance links are general information, not personalised financial advice.
