Crossing into Nicaragua? Skip the bus connections and ride straight from your door in Sámara to the Peñas Blancas border post, Costa Rica’s main land crossing on the Pan-American Highway. The drive heads north through the old colonial town of Nicoya and Guanacaste’s wide-open cattle country, passes Liberia, and continues toward La Cruz, known for its lookout over Salinas Bay. Want a proper breakfast or last-minute supplies before immigration? Ask your driver to pull over — this trip moves at your pace. We drop you right at the border gate; once you’ve walked across, San Juan del Sur and Rivas are an easy onward ride. 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.
