Should I travel through Costa Rica with a tour or on my own?
I’m plotting a trip to Costa Rica for early May with a couple of friends. We want to be able to learn most of the country, visiting a few of the major national parks. I’m just plotting on being there 7 or 8 days. Would you recommend a tour package or to rent a car a travel on our own? If so, what tour would u recommend? Is it safe for just 3 people to be traveling on their own through the country?
Thank you ahead for your responses

It is safe……….but your stay of 7/8 days is far small of what you need. If your planing an express trip through Costa Rica let someone else plot it and drive it. The roads are not what your used to. Just got back after a month.
Getting from one place to another is a real adventure.
It is safe for the most part. It is pretty simple to get around by either bus or taxi. Try and do your traveling in the morning and day times. You may want to spend more time in one area then a tour would allow. If you rent a car it is honestly simple to get from one place to another although watch out for the monster pothole areas that can stretch on for miles. I have seen cars stuck in pot holes and also with blown tires.
hey priscila…
here in costa rica is quite safe
rent a car and just cruise around here
a tour is nice but they take you from point A to point B
like… a trip to poas volcano from san jose. cost you about $50. and if and you drive there, the car is like $45(depends on the car), the entrance is $5 each. the gas to get there is $9 and you can stop any where you feel to see the view or buy stuff.
if you have a flat tire or some one tells you that you have a flat tire… stop at a gas station, supermarket… any public place
that is around the san jose(central valley) area. some people in san jose make take advantage of you in those situations
outside san jose is pretty ok on anything… just be careful
