Qwovadis-Thanks for your reply.I would like to make a day trip from Marriott Guantacaste to Monteverde.It looks like a difficult across the mountains trip. Any suggestions on how to best get there or how long it will take ? Suggestions on activities or places to eat in the Monteverde ? Service Car Rental looks good. Is it reputable ? We used Tricolor last trip, and it was excellent.Thanks again.

I would never do a daytrip to MV from anywhere. Once you leave the Interamerican Highway, it's a two hour drive on a bumpy, gravel road with many holes and slow going.

That said, MV is a beautiful cloudforest area and deserves at least two nights to hike in the reserves, hanging bridges or zipline at Selvatura, night hikes, etc.

I'm not sure exactly where you are staying in Guanacaste (near what town?), but it was a four hour drive from Liberia. Distances on a map can be deceiving due to the quality of the roads.

The Los Suenos Marriott is very beautiful. Make sure to get a room with a view of the water.
