CR Mongers, Are there any covid testing facilities in/near Gringo Gulch or nearby areas where one can either walk to from SL or take a cab? And any idea how much the RT PCR tests cost and how long they usually take to send the results? |

Here is the link: https://labechandi.com/sedes-y-contacto/ This is the lab. There are dozens of locations. I do not know which location comes to HC. This was on my hardcopy in August. |

Probably same as comes to Castillo |

There is also testing available at SJO airport. Would imagine the SJO airport website has all of the details. |

Keep in mind that most of these outfits do not test on holidays or weekend. The airport is 24-7 which was where I had to go last trip because of a Monday departure. It was quick and efficient. |

And PCR tests are not 2 or 3 hours. I had my PCR test at Sportsmans, the lab doing the tests gave a 24 hour turnaround, where others I checked with were 48 hours for PCR test. That worked for my 72 hour window to fly back to Canada. But I would opt for the earliest possible within the 72 hour window to give you a possible day for a second test if something goes wrong with the first one. Say it got delayed for some reason or other. Added.. I checked the lab link to the lab with a link in a previous post. They have a 24 hour turnaround on PCR tests within greater San Jose. And they have locations around the city. |

I took my test in Heredia 3 days before flight since I was staying there before I departed. They charged me 25,000 colones and I received my results the same day. It wasn’t crowded and I made my appointment online. https://labjensu.com/ - They we’re on the embassy’s recommended list of providers. Granted, the Heredia office is a bit of a hike, I believe that the have and office near the embassy which is a bit closer. I figure that the low cost of the test will make up for a cab or Uber ride. There was no issue with my test results when I checked in for the flight. In a prior trip, I was tested at CIMA in Escazu and was charged $85. If you can spare the time, I would recommend this provider. |
