This was easily one of the longest journeys of our trip, going from Brasilito to Puerto Viejo, so we decided on a private transfer Costa Rica option for convenience. We left early in the morning while it was still cool, and I remember feeling a bit sleepy as we got on the road. As the hours passed, the landscape changed dramatically—from dry coastal areas to green mountains and eventually thick Caribbean jungle. It’s a long and sometimes winding drive, and I did feel a bit restless midway, but we stopped for coffee and a quick stretch. Arriving in Puerto Viejo felt rewarding, like we had crossed the whole country in one day.

We chose private transfer Costa Rica for this route because we didn’t want to deal with multiple connections across such a long distance. Traveling as a couple with two large suitcases, comfort really mattered. The vehicle had plenty of space, and the air conditioning worked well despite the heat at the start in Brasilito. The road includes mountain sections with curves, which made me a bit uneasy at times, but the driving style felt steady. We appreciated being able to stop for lunch and take a short break. The shift from dry to humid climate was very noticeable by the end.

We booked a private transfer Costa Rica ride from Brasilito to Puerto Viejo, and it made a long travel day much easier. I was already a bit tired from the heat in Guanacaste, so having a direct pickup helped a lot. The journey is long, but comfortable, and we stopped once for drinks. Watching the scenery change across the country kept it interesting. Everything felt smooth and well paced.
