With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Nicoya, 18 miles away, has to offer. Nicoya Colonial Church should be toward the top of your list here. La Casa de la Cultura and Barra Honda National Park are also not to be missed. Situated 40 miles away, Liberia is another popular choice. If you visit, be sure to check out Africa Mia, Liberia Parque Central and Africa Mía.
