The joy of having your own ride is that you can go anywhere, anytime. Make full use of your freedom by checking out all there is to do in Monteverde. It’s just 16 miles away. Among your first few stops here should be Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve, Selvatura Adventure Park and Reserva Biológica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde. The locals are also likely to point you toward Puntarenas, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Puntarenas Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Victoria Park and Mata de Limón.)
