Costa Rica Guide
The Central Pacific and southern Nicoya
Getting Around
The majority of visitors cross over to the southern Nicoya Peninsula from Puntarenas on the ferries to Naranjo or Paquera. However, the bridge across the mouth of the Río Tempisque is an alternative route for drivers. From Naranjo you can either continue south by car or north to Carmona and then up to Nicoya and Santa Cruz, but the roads aren't in great shape. From Paquera, public transport can be taken down to Tambor and Montezuma.
