How is driving in Costa Rica?
As
mentioned in previous answers, Costa Rica is a small country but reaching
different destinations can take a long time depending on the traffic. Costa
Rica is very hilly and you have to keep that in mind. Climate and weather
conditions are important to factor in to travel as well-remember the various microclimates
this country has.
Whether you
are renting a car or hiring a driver, the approximate time between majority of
places is about 3 to 4 hours. Depending on time and flexibility of the family, 2
to 3 nights in the destinations is recommended to fully experience the full
vacation. This way, families will have more time to know and appreciate the
places and do a variety of activities with their kids.
