The safest and easiest way to get from point A to B during your stay is by taking a domestic flight in Costa Rica. Distant stops like the Osa Peninsula in the south, Tortuguero on the Caribbean and the beaches of the northern Pacific like Tamarindo, are not easy to access by land due to poor conditions along one-lane roads that cling to steep mountainous passes and sustain frequent natural interference.
