The first flight of the South American airline Latam will arrive to Costa Rica on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 from Lima, Peru; this will be the first direct service offered by this company between Costa Rica and Peru.

Latam will offer three weekly flights, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, leaving from the Juan Santamaria International Airport at 4:45 p.m. and arriving in Lima at 9:25 p.m. Flights leaving from Peru to San Jose, leave those same days at 12:50 p.m. and arrive in San Jose at 3:25 p.m.

Costa Rica is the first Central America destination where the airline is operating; the new service is a new option for travelers and improves the connections to South America hopefully attracting more companies and offering more options of direct flights in the near future.
