as a solo traveler) to getting around Costa Rica. Buses are the most affordable option (esp. Renting a car is extremely popular in Costa Rica, but I recommend reading this blog post first before doing so. Getting Around Costa Ricaĭomestic flights aren’t really a thing in Costa Rica, so that leaves two ways to get around: bus and renting a car. To find the best deal & prices I recommend using Skyscanner. It’s possible to fly to Costa Rica into either San Jose or Liberia. Make sure to bring colones, they do accept US dollars, but the exchange rate is awful. You don’t need to book ahead, just show up at the bus station beforehand and pay at the register. You can do this by taking the MEPE bus from San Jose which runs every day and is 5,995 colones which is about $10 USD. The next, and cheapest way to get to Puerto Viejo is by bus. However, if you have some travel buddies it may be worth it, although I recommend reading this post before renting. Having a car in Puerto Viejo is not entirely necessary either. Unless you’re traveling with a few friends to split the bill, the daily car rental price and insurance really rack up. Renting a car in Costa Rica is very popular among tourists, however not the most budget friendly. From San Jose it’s then about a 7 hour drive to Puerto Viejo which you can reach by car or bus. Once you arrive, I wouldn’t recommend staying more than a night in San Jose before moving on (unless you want to visit surrounding areas). Skyscanner usually has some of the best flight deals.
