Drive Around San Josè Juan Santamaria


If you intend to establish your "base camp" in San Jose, know that the city is located exactly in the centre of Costa Rica, and being the smallest country in Central America, it’ll be the best place to start any exploration. With a rental car, indeed, you’ll be able to cover all distances in a very short time. In just over an hour, following the westbound State road 27, you’ll be on the most beautiful beaches of Costa Rica, while taking the State road 1 and then continuing on the 126 you’ll be at La Paz waterfalls in just 1 hour. Two other must-see sights that you won’t forget are definitely the Arenal Volcano and Manuel Antonio Park. The first is an active volcano from which you can see the lava leaking from its craters in a very picturesque setting, the second is the smallest park in the country, but also the most fascinating one. Indeed, you can walk on its pristine beaches behind an unspoilt forest, where thousands of beautifully coloured animals live peacefully, such as toucans and parrots that will keep you company until sunset, when the forest will be dominated by the absolute silence of nature.
