With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that San Ramon, 20 miles away, has to offer. San Ramon Nonato Church should be toward the top of your list here. Palmares Church and Los Ángeles Cloud Forest Adventure Park are excellent attractions too. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Puntarenas, 30 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Puntarenas Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Victoria Park and Mata de Limón.)
