⭐ Our personal recommendation
To explore in total comfort and make the most of your trip, we recommend a rental car or private transport. These options let you visit waterfalls, viewpoints, hot springs, and the volcano without worrying about schedules. If you prefer not to drive, taxis and Uber work great for short trips around La Fortuna. For longer distances, we suggest booking tours that include transportation; they are usually affordable and will take you directly to each exciting activity.
