A Week of Pura Vida in Tamarindo, Monteverde, Rio Celeste and more...(affordable transportation)

A Week of Pura Vida in Tamarindo, Monteverde, Rio Celeste and more...(affordable transportation)

This itinerary is planned for a solo traveler or small group of friends who don't plan to rent a car for more than 2 days. It's designed for those who want to make the best of their budget and experience a healthy mix of slow travel and the excursions Costa Rica has to offer - in essence this is how to live the Pura Vida for a week!

Day 1

Land in Liberia, Bus to Tamarindo Beach, Evening in Tamarindo

After landing at Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport, getting a local bus to Tamarindo Beach is super easy! The bus arrives at the left hand corner of the airport's arrival area approximately every hour. You can ask any security worker at the airport when the next bus is coming in. If you would rather spend the money on a cab to Tamarindo this is also a super viable option. 

Once in Tamarindo, you can check in at one of many hostels or hotels in the area that fit your budget. For solos travellers and small groups of friends I would highly recommend the Selina Hostel chain. They create a social environment and have a perfect location adjacent to the beach. 

Depending on your energy level, in the evening you can enjoy the sunset, and try any of the amazing restaurants and bars in the area.
