Prefer to stay on the main roads? The long route to Montezuma swings around the peninsula via Paquera, then heads down through Tambor and the hub town of Cóbano before dropping into the village. It covers more kilometers than the coastal shortcut, but it’s the conventional, main-road way in — and a private transfer turns those kilometers into part of the trip. Expect views over the Gulf of Nicoya, a pass by Curú Wildlife Refuge near Paquera, and total freedom to stop: lunch, groceries for your stay, or a photo whenever one presents itself. At the end waits Montezuma, with its famous waterfalls, bohemian streets, and the Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve just down the coast. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.

There are two ways to reach Montezuma from Sámara, and this is the adventurous one: the short route hugs the Pacific on coastal back roads, trading the main highway for a wilder, more scenic ride past remote beaches south of Playa Carrillo. It’s the kind of drive that rewards a camera — and with a private driver, every viewpoint is a legitimate stop. Roll down the windows, pause at a swim-worthy beach or for a cold coconut, and arrive in Montezuma with the road trip already part of the vacation. The village itself delivers: waterfalls a short hike from town, a bohemian main street, and Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve — Costa Rica’s oldest protected area — just down the coast. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.
