Bus Service

Costa Rica has a terrific and inexpensive bus system. You will pay about $1.50 - $2.50 for each hour of travel, depending on the bus company. The major bus companies have seen to it that their buses are clean, comfortable and very contemporary. For longer trips, direct service is available to and from popular destinations like San José, San Isidro del General, Liberia, Jacó and Limon and will get you to your destination within a couple of hours. Local-route buses will remind you of regular city buses, or may even be yellow school buses, yet they are usually very clean and always sufficient for your local trip.

Commuter Flights

Within Costa Rica, you’ll find a number of smaller domestic airlines: Sansa, Nature Air, or chartered planes called taxis aereos, “air taxis.” Flying domestically can be a delight, as often the four- to fifteen passenger airplanes offer magnificent bird’s-eye vistas of the country’s rich, colorful and varied terrain.

Hiking and Walking

Costa Rica is a hiker’s heaven, whether you’re trekking the mountain trails, checking out the jungle paths, or strolling along the breathtaking stretches of beaches. That being said, sandals and sturdy waterproof hiking boots are a must for any Costa Rica traveler’s packing list.
