With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that La Fortuna, 17 miles away, has to offer. Tabacon Hot Springs should be at the top of your list here. Baldi Hot Springs and La Fortuna Waterfall are interesting attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you toward Monteverde, 20 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve. (But we’re also huge fans of Selvatura Adventure Park and Reserva Biológica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde.)
