Map of Costa Rica Major Roads
Almost every where in the country is accessible by road even though they are mostly unpaved and made of rock and dirt. To help get you from one region to another there is a major network of paved roads in the country too. For moving around the country you should definitely rent a 4×4. Taxi’s are not recommended due to their price and limiting your experiences. Just don’t speed no matter what. Tickets are very expensive.
Map of Osa Area
We are available to help with your trip planning. We are located near the Osa Peninsula and would like to suggest that you visit this part of the country when you come down. It is one of the most bio-diverse and exotic tropical locations in all of Central America.
Locate your own paradise and then live there. The resort I live at is growing into an amazing intentional community with diverse people from around the world calling it home. The community model works great for living better on less money. The resort atmosphere lends itself to a more relaxed lifestyle with an abundnace of things to do.
