Tourist-van shuttles are provided by Grayling’s Fantasy Bus (tel: 2220 2126;) and Interbus (tel: 283 5573). Both run overland transport from San José to the most well loved destinations, and between other destinations (see website). There is fantastic information about businesses in Costa Rica in the TicosLand.com directory and fantastic general information in the TicosLand Costa Rica blog.

you have 2 questions….get a passport or renew your visa…….don’t let the fact you can’t speak Spanish stop you from doing anything…..you are on a fantastic adventure— talk to people–they usually know at least a few words in English….you will eventually learn how to communicate without language

There is a fantastic new service called vacations via van – http://www.vacationsviavan.com. They offer trips to Panama and Nicaragua in a nice air conditioned van for very reasonable prices. They speak English too. You night want to try them.
