While in Costa Rica, travel is not difficult. If you are staying in
San Jose, though, it is advisable to use the public transportation
system or use taxi service. This is because of the enormous amount
of traffic and the difficulty of finding suitable places to park.
There are many rental agencies where you can rent a vehicle to
travel to different parts of the country. Some areas are fine for
an ordinary car, but there are many areas where you will need to
use a four-wheel drive vehicle, especially if you visit the country
during the wet season.
Most people like to be able to see Costa Rica on their own, but in
Costa Rica, travel agencies are now offering the services of a
personal driver. This service allows you peace of mind because you
are travelling with someone who knows the country and the traffic
laws. You wont have to worry about having to leave someone to watch
the car when you visit one of the tourist destinations. This
measure is necessary because of the rise in theft of belongings and
the cars themselves.
In Costa Rica, travel is also possible by air. There are two
domestic airlines that will take you to many of the popular
locations. You can book your flights online and it is advisable to
make reservations before you get to Costa Rica. These seats are
often booked well in advance and leaving it to the last minute may
deprive you of a day or two of sightseeing. Travelling by bus is
the most economical way to get around. These vehicles are
air-conditioned with room for you to carry along your luggage. They
run from most of the tourist resorts, but they also need to be
booked in advance.
