Costa Rica, known for its “Pura Vida” lifestyle, offers a unique Romance Tour experience. The local women, known affectionately as Ticas, are renowned for their kindness, education, and balanced approach to life. It is the perfect destination for men seeking a Latin wife who is both passionate and grounded.
The 2026 Costa Rica Tour schedule begins in February, making it the second major Latin tour of the year, right after Barranquilla.
Pura Vida Romance: Why Costa Rica?
Unlike some high-energy Latin cities, San Jose offers a relaxed environment focused on quality of life. Ticas are often highly educated and value stability and partnership over materialism. English is widely spoken in tourist sectors, making initial connections easy.

Dating Ticas: What Makes Costa Rican Women Special?
The term “Ticas” refers to the affectionate way Costa Ricans refer to themselves. When dating a Tica, you will find a woman who is both beautiful and focused on building a stable future.
Key Traits of Costa Rican Women
- Kind and Gentle: They embody the “Pura Vida” philosophy, which means living a calm, relaxed, and kind life.
- Family First: Strong family values are central to their culture. They seek a partner who prioritizes home life.
- Educated and Independent: Costa Rica has a high literacy rate. Ticas are often well-educated professionals, looking for a partner, not a provider.
💡 Pro Tip:
While Costa Rican women are often described as gentle, they appreciate a man who is strong, respectful, and decisive. Be sure to dress smartly and plan your private dates with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Costa Rica Romance Tours
Is the Costa Rica Romance Tour safe?
Costa Rica is one of the safest countries in Central America. The tour is concentrated in San Jose and utilizes reputable, secure hotels. The agency staff is present 24/7, providing a significantly safer experience than independent dating or travel.
Is the tour based on San Jose or the beaches?
The organized social events and accommodations are based in San Jose, as that is where the largest pool of marriage-minded women is located. However, you will have free time to arrange excursions to nearby areas with your dates.
How is the English level of Ticas?
English proficiency is high among younger professionals in San Jose. While you should not assume fluency, communication is much easier than in many other Latin countries, and agency interpreters are always available at the socials.
How much spending money should I budget for private dates?
San Jose is more expensive than Barranquilla. You should budget $100 to $200 per day for private dates (nice dinners, transportation, excursions) to treat your Tica date respectfully.
Is the 7-day tour enough time to find a wife?
Yes. The tour is an introduction service. Success is measured by meeting your future wife—not marrying her on the spot. Many successful couples only use the 7-day tour to make a connection, then continue dating remotely before the final commitment.
Are Costa Rican women interested in older men?
Yes. Ticas, like many Latin women, prioritize stability and commitment over age. It is very common for Western men in their 40s, 50s, and beyond to find great success on the Costa Rica tours.
What kind of clothing should I pack?
San Jose has a tropical, high-altitude climate—pack light shirts, polos, and one business-casual suit or blazer for the social events. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for the daytime tours.
Does the tour price include airfare?
No. The listed price of $3695 is the land-only package. You are responsible for booking your own flight into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO).
What is the main difference between Colombian and Costa Rican women?
Colombian women (especially coastal) are known for being extroverted and passionate. Ticas are often perceived as more reserved, educated, and calm. Both are highly family-oriented, but Ticas reflect the country’s peaceful “Pura Vida” culture more closely.
How do I secure my spot for the February 2026 romance tour?
You can secure your spot by placing a deposit or booking the full package through the tour operator (Step 2 CTA below). Given the popularity of the Costa Rica tours, early booking is strongly recommended.
