Four Countries In Latin America That Have Removed Covid-19 Entry Requirements
Mexico
With one of the busiest airports in the world – located in the popular city of Cancun – Mexico was one of the first nations on the planet to remove all of its entry requirements for international visitors.
And, in fact the country has been the most popular destination for vacations throughout the Covid-19 pandemic – which has seen its hotels become even more expensive than those in the United States.
Those that visit this beautiful nation will be able to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor adventures, or relax and recharge at the country’s beautiful – and exclusive – beaches along both its Pacific and Caribbean coastlines.
And, you never know – you might even stumble across one or two of the nation’s hidden gems during your trip to Mexico.
Costa Rica
From the beginning of this month (1 April), Costa Rica removed all of its remaining entry requirements – meaning that travelers can once again put all of their focus onto the places they want to visit in this stunning rainforested nation, located in Central America.
And, if you are looking for an outdoor adventure or wanting to learn more about the nation’s culture, you are sure to not be disappointed by what the stunningly beautiful country of Costa Rica has to offer.
El Salvador
Again – just like Mexico – El Salvador was one of the first nation’s to reopen for tourism, with no vaccination or testing requirements.
And, just a few months ago it was announced that the country had teamed up with a few other nations in the region – to launch new tourism routes, which aim to improve connectivity between countries, as well as make cross-border travel a smoother experience for travelers.
With its selection of majestic beaches – situated along its Pacific coast – as well as its Mayan ruins, volcanoes and variety of lakes – there is no doubt that El Salvador is one of the trendiest countries to visit this year.
Those who have invested in Bitcoin will even be able to make payments with their investment in this cryptocurrency – as El Salvador has just made it an official currency inside the country, alongside the U.S. dollar.

I love seeing countries return to normal and appreciate these lists. But what is it actually like on the ground? Mexico has no federal rules but when I went to Oaxaca it was still Covid crazy

Isn't Dominican Republic covid-madness-free as well? I thought they got rid of all the restrictions?

Not yet. They still have random testing on arrival, and some travelers (Like those coming from the UK for example) still have to bring a 72 hour negative PcR test

Looks like El Salvador is the clear winner in this list. Many countries that have no entry requirements still abide by silly Covid mandates once inside the country. Now that more people are lifting their entry requirements, we need to take a closer look at their mandates on a national basis as well as local basis.
