After a few days exploring La Fortuna, I arranged transportation in Costa Rica to get down to Quepos without the stress of driving. I was traveling solo with a medium suitcase and felt a bit sore from hiking, so sitting back for the journey was a relief. The day started early, and I was still half asleep when we left, but the changing scenery kept me engaged—lush hills, rivers, and eventually the thicker coastal vegetation. I sometimes get motion sickness on long, curvy roads, but the steady rhythm and a couple of well-timed breaks made it manageable. Arriving in Quepos, I felt refreshed and ready to enjoy the beach atmosphere.
Traveling with my partner and two suitcases, we chose a shuttle service Costa Rica instead of renting a car for this long route. Leaving La Fortuna, the weather was cooler, but it gradually became warmer as we got closer to Quepos. The vehicle was comfortable, and we appreciated not having to think about directions. There are quite a few curves along the way, but the pace felt steady. We had a planned stop midway to grab food and stretch, which made the journey much more manageable.
I booked a shared shuttle Costa Rica from La Fortuna to Quepos after visiting Arenal. The pickup was right on time, which helped since I had an early start and was still a bit tired. I had one backpack and just wanted an easy ride. The road includes some winding sections through the mountains, but everything felt smooth. We made one quick stop for snacks, and I arrived in Quepos relaxed.
