With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Monteverde, 16 miles away, has to offer. Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve should be toward the top of your list here. Selvatura Adventure Park and Reserva Biológica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde are also not to be missed. Don’t miss La Fortuna either! Just 20 miles away, Tabacon Hot Springs, Baldi Hot Springs and La Fortuna Waterfall are must-sees here.
