That depends largely on where you plan to wander. Downtown Cartago, about 4 miles from Cartago Airport (CRC-Santa Ana), can be a little daunting to drive around. Make life easy by booking something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. That being said, Cartago is a popular base for exploring many of the mangroves around Valle del Cauca. If your escape is more about cruising down highways, then you may prefer something with a bit more trunk space and room to move. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
