With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Limon, 30 miles away, has to offer. Uvita Island ought to be at the top of your list here. Vargas Park and Veragua Rainforest Park are also not to be missed. Situated 50 miles away, Cartago is another popular destination. If you drop by, don’t miss Parque Nacional Tapantí-Macizo Cerro de la Muerte, Lankester Botanical Garden and Las Ruinas de la Parroquia.
