Plan Your Travel to Avoid the Traffic

Don’t be deceived by its small size; Costa Rica’s mountainous terrain means the shortest distance between two points is never a straight line.

Road maps can be deceptive. Monteverde and Arenal volcano are two popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica. As the crow flies it is about 16 miles, but it takes about 3:45 to drive from one to the other, even in a 4WD vehicle.

Designing your travel route and where you will try to visit in a one or two week vacation requires local knowledge of the road conditions and other transportation options.

Volare also makes use of our strong 4x4's' - off pavement, back-roads, with no trucks, only a few antique pickups, occasional horses and sometimes even oxcarts.
