Costa Rica Drive Times

Costa Rica Information » Costa Rica Drive Times

Costa Rica is a small country in terms of square kilometers or miles, however the mountainous terrain and generally bad road conditions can make drive times much different than expected. For example; Arenal Volcano is located only 15 kilometers from Monteverde, yet to drive from one destination to the other it takes 3 hours! For this reason, we have listed approximate Costa Rica drive times for your convenience. Please keep in mind all listed Costa Rica drive times are approximate and will vary based on weather and traffic conditions.
