Get your bags, exit San Cristobal Airport (STD-Mayor Buenaventura Vivas), and pick up your rental car. Which one you climb into depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown San Cristobal, around 16 miles from the terminal, select something zippy and small. A compact car with good handling will be perfect for navigating those busy city streets. But with so many things to see, like the scenic coral reefs of the region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
