Santa to Visit Costa Rica and Mexico
Santa Claus is leaving the North Pole today for a quick trip to central America. His goal is to visit the newly opened Regional Tracking Centers in Mexico and Costa Rica. He will be accompanied by Elf Crash Murphy, International Director of Santa Trackers.

The purpose of Santa’s visits to these regional tracking centers is not entirely known. It has been a long, long time since Santa has visited one of these facilities.
Regional Tracking Centers are placed in each sector – so there are five of them.
Sector 5’s tracking center in Barra de Navidad, Mexico has been opened just hours, according the a late night post from North Pole Flight Command.
The tracking center in Belen, Costa Rica has been open for about a week for Sector 4 while the Regional Tracking Center for Sector 1 in Kiribati has been open for most of the month. Just centers in Sector 2, in Taiwan, and Sector 3, in Belgium are yet to open.
To learn more about this quick trip for Santa to the Regional Tracking Centers please listen to the North Pole Radio News report in the player above.
