Road Trip Costa Rica! Driving from San Jose to La Fortuna
Time to say goodbye to San Jose and head up to La Fortuna, a town that sits in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano. We rented a car from Vamos, a Costa Rican car rental company (spoiler alert: they were great). What a beautiful drive it was...

Jay and Sharon - Costa Rica - Driving San Jose to Arenal Costa Rica
This is a long overdue video of our trip to Costa Rica. We are driving from San Jose Hertz to Arenal. Its about a 3 hour drive and here is the highlight clip.
Drive Costa Rica SHOULD YOU? driving Costa Rica
We are a full service travel agency We've made a few videos before about driving Costa Rica. This is the update. Should you rent a car and drive Costa Rica or should you leave it to the professionals?? This is our FINAL anwser.
San Jose Airport Costa Rica
Hey Everyone, michael alan and DAngelo from the Costa Rica Travel Channel. We went to Juan Santamaria International Airport aka San Jose Airport (so don't be confused) and made a little video so you would know what to expect when you fly into Costa Rica. Sometimes, this airport can be quite intimidating, especially during high season (Dec-April). If you made it to La Fortuna, home of the Arenal Volcano, stop by, but don't forget the Cacique.
Every country seems to have their own set of requirements when traveling 'in' and 'out,' and Costa Rica is no exception. The good news is, the requirements are fairly basic, as it's quite easy to get in and out of the San Jose airport (Juan Santamaria International Airport)- with the possible exception of 'time'. There ARE frequent instances of waiting a few hours in various lines, depending. Flying into Liberia's, Daniel Oduber International Airport, located in the Guanacaste region is just a bit easier and less crowded than its older brother, Juan Santamaria Airport. But, if you are interested in Costa Rica travel, then you should probably take a look at this important information concerning entry and departure requirements even if you're a seasoned traveler. The Costa Rica Travel Channel thinks it's a good idea to remind you of things you may have forgotten you know.
Things have changed and a drivers license and birth certificate will NOT get you into Costa Rica. YOU MUST HAVE A VALID PASSPORT that will not expire within six months. If your passport is in poor condition the Costa Rica Travel Channel highly recommends that you replace it before leaving, you could be turned away. If you even suspect your passport may be a bit 'weathered,' don't chance it, trust us, you really can be turned away and put on the next return flight. This would definitely be a vacation buzz kill. So, error on the side of being overly conservative.
US citizens as well as those from Canada and most European countries may visit Costa Rica for 90 days. If you wish a longer visit, you must leave the country for 72 hours. This will refresh your visa for another 90 days. However, there is a legal loophole. If for instance you left the country BEFORE your 90 days were up, you could re-enter after just a short day trip across the border, which would also refresh your visa for another 90 days. The Costa Rica Travel Channel does not endorse this, just reporting it. Doing this in and out thing a few times is no big deal. Doing it over and over (perpetual tourism) you can run a serious risk of being expelled from the country or refused re-admittance.

Here's What It's Really like Driving in Costa Rica
Every country has its own laws and more importantly driving styles. While Costa Rica does have traffic laws, they are really more of a suggestion than strict law. Because of this, you get some interesting tendencies and driving customs in Costa Rica. This week I take you for a drive in Costa Rica and let you know what I've learned about the driving culture here after my week long day.
