Detailed Driving Directions
Trip Planning - Getting Around

Driving anywhere in Costa Rica can be a challenge.  If you ask any local for directions, they will always tell you how to get there, even if they really don't know where you are going: they just want to be helpful. 

There are no good road maps and often road signs, if present, are barely legible. 

We have recorded these driving directions as we actually drove the routes, often re-setting the odometer at main intersections to provide the most accurate directions for your traveling pleasure.
