LiDAR Drone Mapping in Costa Rica
Precision topographic surveys with ±1–3 cm accuracy using DJI Matrice 350 RTK and Livox LiDAR technology — penetrating Costa Rica's densest forest canopy.
At Drone Survey Costa Rica, we utilize the DJI Matrice 350 RTK equipped with a Livox LiDAR module — a professional-grade system that delivers survey-quality accuracy across diverse Costa Rican landscapes, from dense rainforests to construction sites.
Equipment: The DJI Matrice 350 RTK carries a Livox LiDAR module that emits laser pulses at a rate of 240,000 points per second. This system also integrates RTK GPS for absolute positioning accuracy.
LiDAR Mapping Pricing
Transparent, competitive pricing for professional LiDAR surveys across Costa Rica.
Standard LiDAR Survey
Then $80 USD per additional hectare of survey area.
Example: A 100-hectare survey costs $1,000 + (95 × $80) = $8,600 total.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is LiDAR mapping compared to traditional surveying?
LiDAR achieves ±1–3 cm vertical accuracy in optimal conditions, matching or exceeding traditional ground surveys. The key advantage is speed and the ability to map terrain under vegetation.
What does a LiDAR survey cost?
Projects start at $1,000 USD for the first 5 hectares, then $80 USD per additional hectare (100 ha = $8,600), aligned with our online quote calculator.
Can LiDAR penetrate dense rainforest vegetation?
Yes. Multiple laser returns allow ground-point classification beneath canopy — invaluable for Costa Rica's densely forested areas.
