Transportation Tips
Renting a vehicle
If you intend to travel to different parts of the country, we recommend you rent a 4x4 vehicle with GPS! The rural parts of the country consist of rocky dirt roads (with little to no signage) and depending on what time of year you visit, you may have to cross a few small rivers. There are several car rental companies to choose from, and we are happy to recommend Vamos Rent-A-Car in San Jose, whose employees speak English and have always been friendly and reliable. We will send you directions before you arrive.
