Location
Depending on what
you'd like to see along the way
there are three main routes. Route
one is the most direct and reliable.
Route One: From San José,
the easiest, paved route (see below
for most direct 4WD) is to follow
Avenida 10 to Parque La Sabana where
it becomes highway 27 which you
will follow west for 34 miles (56
km) to the town of Orotina. 3 miles
(5 km) past Orotina, turn left (south)
on 34, the coastal highway which
takes you 11 miles (18 km) to the
bridge over the Tárcoles
River where you enter Carara National
Park (stop and take a walk). Quepos
is 54 miles (87 km) south and east
on 34. Turn left on the outskirts
of Quepos (signed) and head up and
over the hills another 3 miles (7
km) to Manuel Antonio.
Route Two: From San José,
you can also drive south on the
Interamerican Highway (Pan American)
81 miles (135 km) to San Isidro,
where you turn southwest on 22,
which becomes 243 to Dominical (16
miles, 26 km). In Dominical turn
northwest on 34 for about 24 miles
(38 km) (the middle section of this
leg is unpaved, but passable in
a car) to the left turn (south)
to Quepos. Turn left on the outskirts
of Quepos (signed) and head up and
over the hills another 3 miles (7
km) to Manuel Antonio.
Route Three: The most direct route
is the most beautiful, but requires
4WD, a good map, and a sense of
adventure. From San José
head south to San Pablo, continue
to Nápoles where you'll shift
into 4 wheel low and drop down to
the coast.
