The size of the country makes it possible travel from any place to another, you can visit the city, the beach or the mountain in a single day (from the Caribbean to the Pacific side of the country the distance is approximately 250 km, from the border of Nicaragua to the border of Panama are approximately 600 km).

There are different ways to reach any place in the country. TicoRide works to offer you all the available Costa Rica Transportation options:

The rate is per person and the transportation stops halfway for about 20 minutes to use the bathroom or/and buy some drinks or snacks.

Helicopter Ride

If you are an adventure person or simply like to travel with full comfort, the option of traveling by helicopter is a very good alternative. This is a Costa Rica Private Transportation Option. The service fee depends on the number of flight hours, people, model of choice and route.

 

Rent a Car

For those who does not want to have a previously schedule setup, travel in a group or simply want to travel across country with their own itinerary, the option of renting a car is the best of all.

The rate varies depending on the model, the number of days of rent, the extras and the additional insurance purchased.

Costa Rica Shuttle has may options for you, you are the one who decides which one is the best for you.

The ferry service works to travel from Puntarenas to the Paquera area (fee usually included on the service rate). Is the best way to reach Tambor, Montezuma, Santa Teresa, Mal Pais, etc. (It does not matter if you are in a rental car or on a public bus).
