We flew Taca Airlines to San José; then picked up a rental car. For us, driving was just part of the adventure—but not everyone would agree. Roads are often rough (especially during winter “rainy season”) and emergency services limited. Furthermore, petty crooks or on-the-take transit police have been known to occasionally target rental vehicles. As an alternative, companies such as Iguana Tours provide a chauffeured transfer service. Domestic airlines, including state-owned Sansa, also fly daily between the capital and Central Pacific. Public buses or private shuttles serve individual attractions.
