Question 1

Is urban exploration legal in Costa Rica?

Accepted Answer

Urbex is generally tolerated in Costa Rica as long as you don't damage anything and don't enter actively guarded property. Respect "private property" and "no trespassing" signs. Never break a lock or window. Most spots sit in a legal gray area: breaking in = crime, entering through an open door or existing breach = civil trespass at worst.

Question 2

What types of abandoned places can I find in Costa Rica?

Accepted Answer

Costa Rica has 44 geolocated spots across multiple categories: abandoned castles and manor houses, industrial wastelands (factories, refineries, blast furnaces), disused hospitals and sanatoriums, military bunkers and fortifications, mines and quarries, railway stations, churches, hotels and ghost villages. Each type offers a unique atmosphere: industrial for raw machinery lovers, sacred for solemn moods.

Question 3

How do I use the GPS coordinates I've purchased?

Accepted Answer

After purchase, you get access to an interactive map directly on Urbex Maps. Your unlocked spots appear on the map with exact GPS coordinates. You can click any point to open navigation in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze in one click. Access is lifetime: no subscription, no recurring payments.

Question 4

How many abandoned places are listed in Costa Rica?

Accepted Answer

Costa Rica has 44 geolocated abandoned places with exact GPS coordinates, spread across 7 regions. It's one of the largest urbex databases in the world for this country, updated regularly by our community of explorers.

Question 5

What's the best season for exploring in Costa Rica?

Accepted Answer

Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) are ideal: golden light, mild temperatures, less invasive vegetation than peak summer. Avoid heavy rain (slippery moss, unstable floors) and nighttime without good visibility. Winter offers dramatic atmospheres but requires warm gear and powerful lights.
