COSTA RICA

Getting Around Costa Rica

Driving in Costa Rica is perhaps one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences you can have in this friendly country. Panoramic views coupled with charming villages, coffee plantations, cattle grazing farmlands and the natural beauty of lush vegetation, abundant waterfalls, beautiful bridges and rushing rivers lend a special touch to your driving experience. Driving in Costa Rica is becoming a much more user-friendly experience. Recent improvements in the country's road system allows travelers to enjoy a comfortable ride and new road signs are being placed throughout the country. This wave of improvements is the result of the Ministry of Transportation's newly established fund, named CONAVI. The country's 5000 miles of roadway will be preserved, developed and repaired from past neglect. Over 700 million dollars has been invested through the cooperation of international aid. Despite the small size of the country, driving distances can sometimes be deceiving. Daily Car rental rates and a sample of driving distances measured in miles is listed bellow. Remember that road and weather conditions will affect the actual driving time.
