We took shuttles. We stayed at 2 places that were in two different parts of the country. Stayed in Puerto Viejo first. That was a 5 hour drive from the airport. That is on the Caribbean side. Many black folks. Lots of Jamaicans. Our excursions had pick ups, except the cooking class. Just took a taxi or to tuc tucs as they call them.

Took a shared shuttle back to San Jose and stayed there since it was 30mins from airport. Did excursions to Arenal park where the volcano is located. That was like 2 hours away.

I wouldn't have felt comfortable driving in the rain forest up in the mountains. Got to go through there to get to Arenal and puerto veiejo. Views were amazing. I could handle driving in Puerto viejo. San Jose seems difficult to drive through. So much traffic and narrow streets. Parking looks hard to do as well.

The shared shuttles were cheap for that 5hr distance. We did Uber when we were in San Jose to get around. Went to their museums. I was gonna do Uber anyway but even our cooking teacher said don't do taxis. They are rigged and will cheat you out your money. The ones in San Jose.
