Explore Costa Rica With A Convenient Minibus Rental

By Paula Storm


Affordable minibus rental is available in Costa Rica from assorted companies and locations all through this tiny country. You may not want to drive in some areas like downtown San Jose. That experience is just a bit hectic, more specifically, crazy, and driving there is not really mandatory because of the bus transit system and taxis are Costa Rica's 2nd car.

So getting around is no problem. Taxis are everywhere and reasonably priced. Greatfully , most of the things you'll need to see are likely out of San Jose, so low cost car rental works well.

If you would like to go to the pretty inviting beaches in Costa Rica, please be warned that Costa Rica's infra structure in the area of septic waste treatment has a rather obscure history of contamination. To be specific, as late as 2010, the following beaches were cited for high to really high levels of fecal contamination: Portete, Los Banos, Cieneguita, Tarcoles, Giacaloillo, Quepos.

And, in addition, Jaco and Tamarindo eventually passed government tests following 3 years of high unsatisfactory contamination. However a warning: raw sewage still spews uncontrolled daily from residences and hotels straight into the rivers and streams and into the sea water near these well-liked beaches. So much for Costa Ricas much advertised eco system!

Indeed, only a couple of the nation's available 61 beaches beaches are given a clean, 5 star blue flag rating and they are: Playa Blanca in Punta Leona and Langosta in Guanacaste.

Employing a cheap car rental to go to some of Costa Rica's most popular tourist destinations works rather well in the key areas. Road and bridge wash outs could be a problem depending on the area and time of year.

There are 200 known volcanic formations but only 5 are categorized as active at this time. Poas Volcano is active and has a boiling acid lake in its crater. Volcan Irazu has a wonderful green blue lake in one of its craters. Arenal Volcano is Costa Rica's most famed and active volcano.

Visitor support in the form of lodging, food, and fuel for these kind of journeys is more than adequate. There are some fantastic places to go to the night or longer if needed. The majority of the volcanos are in the central highlands and northern part of the country, and each can be reached by good car rental deals easily in 1 day.
