Hi. Your pics are beautiful. We're going to Jaco in October. We were thinking of renting an all wheel drive for the week or should we just use a tour guide? Thanks.

justintten - the Caribbean has a much different feel than the Pacific side, so it depends on what you're looking for (in other words, it's hard to say one side is better than the other).

twoharts101 - I would recommend renting an all wheel drive if you don't plan to drive in San Jose at all. If you're going to Jaco, you should take a tour guide or flight to Jaco and rent the car there. I can't imagine a European, American or Australian doing well behind the wheel on the streets of San Jose since it is such a different style of driving.

Great trip and fantastic photos. I was looking at a trip to San Jose, Arenal, and Monteverde with a rental car. I would be traveling alone. How would you rate the safety concerns on a relative basis?

Vince - I would not recommend renting a car in San Jose unless you were renting it from the airport and going straight to Arenal and Monteverde. It would definitely be difficult for a foreigner to try and navigate the San Jose streets. Outside of driving in San Jose, you don't need to worry about any unusual safety concerns.
