Travel time between Costa Rican destinations
 

I need to know what the travel time &amp; conditions between these areas are please. (We plan on using either a bus, taxi or private driver.)<BR><BR>Guanacaste to Monteverde<BR>Monteverde to Arenal<BR>Arenal to Tamarindo<BR>Tamarindo to Liberia<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>

Where in Guanacaste are you staying? That will help us determine your drive time from that region to Monteverde.<BR><BR>Monteverde to Arenal: 3-1/2 to 4 hours<BR>Arenal to Tamarindo:3 to 4 hours<BR>Tamarindo to Liberia: 45 min to 1 hr.<BR><BR>Exact times will depend on traffic and weather. If taking a 'tico' buses, it will take longer depending on how many stops are made.

Arenal to Tamarindo is about 4 hours in good weather; the road is narrow and very winding around the lake until you get to Tilaran (potholes abound and there is a stretch of about 1/2 hour with no pavement), then from Tilaran to Liberia is all good. If you get motion sickness at all, the road from Arenal to Tilaran can really make you sick. Liberia to Tamarindo is 45 minutes and the road is very good except for about 3-4 km right before Tamarindo which is unpaved and can get really dusty.

Speaking of distances between locations. Does anyone know the distance either time and or mileage:<BR>Between Limon and Tortuguero Park<BR>Between Limon and Arenal<BR>Between Tortuguero and Arenal<BR><BR>

Thanks Ally &amp; Iza. We will be staying on Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste.<BR><BR>Also, what is the travel time between Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste &amp; Arenal? We’re considering just going to Arenal &amp; skipping Monteverde. Will we miss out on too much if we do this?<BR><BR>Thanks again. <BR>

ttt

hi can anyone tell me distance between San Jose and Ariel Tram and then ariel tram to Puntarenas??? Help - also any recomended drivers? We will have our luggage so need someone to stay with the car?

Travel time in the Guanacaste area can be affected by more than just pot holes. I was held up for quite awhile by cattle being moved along the road when going from Flamingo to Monteverde. LOL Good kodak moments
