The experience

The road crosses the country, and you watch the landscape change from the minivan's air-conditioned seats while WiFi keeps you connected. The drive is long enough that the stops matter, and you can ask the driver to pull over whenever you want to stretch, eat or grab a coffee.

In Orotina, a fruit stand lets you taste plenty of tropical fruit. Further along, the route runs past places where macaws and toucans live in their natural environment, on the way toward Guanacaste. Local food spots line the road, so the trip can be as much about eating well as about moving.
