Hand-curated places + backpacker hostels in Costa Rica. Works fully offline. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
Costa Rica Backpackers is the app for travelers who pack a backpack instead of booking an all-inclusive package. Curated by hand, no algorithm tourism, no hotel chains.
70 hidden spots and 350+ hostels reviewed one by one. Empty beaches, hidden waterfalls, viewpoints that don't show up on TripAdvisor. Near every place, the hostels where you'll find other travelers.
WHY BACKPACKERS LIKE IT
· Works offline. Photos and info downloaded to your phone — perfect for Tortuguero, Corcovado, Puerto Viejo and anywhere with no signal.
· Hand-curated. Every place reviewed by a real backpacker, not scraped from a database.
· Hostel finder near every spot. Cero resorts, zero chains. The ones where the tribe sleeps.
· Trip planner. Build your own route. Walking & driving distance between stops. Open in Apple Maps or Google Maps with one tap.
· Smart map. Pins cluster automatically — tap to expand and explore. Works with no internet.
· Nearby alerts (optional). The app tells you when you're 5 km from a curated spot, even with the app closed. Your location never leaves the device.
INDIE-BUILT, NO STRINGS
No ads. No accounts. No tracking. No subscriptions. Hand-built by an indie developer who travels Costa Rica with a backpack.
Available in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese — auto-detects your phone language.
