You do not say whether you require commercial or recreational however.....

Liability insurance is not a legal requirement in Costa Rica for recreational purposes.

Unlikely, you will be talking about commercial cover since you would not be qualified in CR unless you have undertaken their commercial training which is a theoretical and practical exam as well as show 10 hours flying experience that satisfies the DGAC.

I’m afraid you are mistaken on your comment regarding commercial requirements.
You also need to hold commercial certification which can only be obtained from DGCA which requires a two part exam and logged hours (and a few other requirements like high school qualification and be of minimum age).

However, moot point since you are requiring cover for recreational purposes and you are domiciled in the US you could try....
