Trading sloths for lava fields? Manuel Antonio first, Arenal next is the classic Costa Rica combo, and the drive between them deserves to be part of the trip. Your driver picks you up at the door in Quepos and follows the Costanera north along the Pacific, with an almost obligatory pause at the Tárcoles bridge to spot the huge crocodiles lazing on the banks below. From there the road climbs through the green highlands around San Ramón, where palms give way to pastures and the air turns cooler, before dropping into La Fortuna at the foot of the volcano. Break up the ride however you like — lunch, photos, one more coconut for the road. The hot springs are waiting. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15.00 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — choose your date, pickup time and passengers, then send your booking on WhatsApp; you can include your flight number in the message.
