Costa Rica records 11 holidays in 2027. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Día de Juan Santamaría (11 Apr 2027), Día Internacional del Trabajo (1 May 2027), Anexión del Partido de Nicoya a Costa Rica (25 Jul 2027) and 2 others fall on a weekend in 2027, so they hand back no extra day off. Jueves Santo (25 Mar 2027) sits on a Tuesday or Thursday, so booking the Friday turns it into a four-day break. The busiest month is Mar, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 85 days, between 1 May 2027 and 25 Jul 2027. The year opens with Año Nuevo on 1 Jan 2027 and closes with Navidad on 25 Dec 2027.
