What are road conditions like in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is roughly the size of West Virginia, but the roads are not of the same quality as the United States. Driving times are often longer and you will likely encounter roads with slow-moving traffic on two-lane highways, potholes, and other inconveniences. Some remote destinations are difficult to access by car – especially during the green season (mid-May through mid-December).  It’s really your personal decision if this sounds like a thrilling adventure or a bit of a hassle. We do, however, suggest discussing your options with a Costa Rica Expert in the vacation planning process.
