Locatiegegevens

By Bus:

The public buses in Costa Rica are actually efficient, safe, and incredibly inexpensive. A one way ticket to Monteverde from San Jose costs about $7.50. You can even bring you surfboard on the bus for an extra $2.00. The seats recline and are actually pretty comfortable. However, sometimes the buses can be crowded.

You cannot buy tickets for the bus in advance; you have to physically buy them at the bus station. Buses leave for Monteverde twice daily; one at 6:30 am, and the other at 2:30 pm. The trip takes about four and a half hours, and the bus does stop for about 15 minutes at a restaurant in the city Sarmientos, which is a little over halfway to Monteverde.

Bus Schedule: San Jose-Monteverde-San Jose departure at 06:30 am and 14:30pm Ticket prices: $4.00 per person

Shared Vans, Shuttles:

If you do not want to have to drive yourself, but do not want to get on a crowded bus, a semi-private shuttle is a good idea. There is one company that provides shuttle service to Monteverde; Interbus. The shuttle is incredibly convenient; it will pick you up and drop you off anywhere, eliminating any need for taxi service.

The price ranges from $29 - $45. The fare for children is usually 50% off of the adult price. The shuttles leave from San Jose every day at 8:00 am and 2:00 pm.

By Car Rental:

Your other option is to drive. First of all, make sure you rent a four wheel drive vehicle.

Most of the roads to Monteverde are dirt, and there are many potholes along the way. If it is the rainy season, the drive to Monteverde can be especially tedious, and you will not be able to get to the cloud reserve at all unless you are driving a 4×4 vehicle.

From San Jose, you take Highway 1 north and then take the Sardinal exit. Part of the route going past Sardinal and up the mountain is paved, making driving conditions easier. You will passing through Guacimal, and then you will reach Santa Elena. This trip will take about four and a half hours, and you will drive 105 miles.

Dit is een Vertrouwde Recensie. Waarom?

This comfortable and spacious ecolodge was the best place we stayed in in Costa Rica, though also the most expensive. Jose, the attentive owner, was the perfect "mine host", breakfast was superb, and the accommodation itself was in a sense heartbreaking - it looked as if it had been carved out of the very rainforest itself, though we appeased our consciences by agreeing that the walls, doors and furniture had been created from nasty strangler vines. Talking to locals, it became clear that the Rustic was one of the most highly regarded lodges in the area.

It is not, however, isolated, being in a row of similar lodges on a slope, though still fairly rural. The local town is pretty awful, but we were just grateful that we weren't staying in La Fortuna (the original plan) as, despite what we had been told, the Arenal volcano has become completely dormant. The lodge is, however, handy for the Monteverde Cloud Forest, and Jose busied himself finding us some good deals on excursions. The best of these, to our surprise, was the $35 fare on the Mountain Railroad, which we had rather been sneering at as a Noddy train for rich old Americans. This turned out to be brilliant - we had a rare sunny day, were the only passengers on a charming, British-built vehicle (we can't even build our own!), had an attentive guide, and saw our first (absolutely huge) tarantula, hummingbirds and coati.

Though the Cloud Forest is impressive as you walk over the bridges, La Selvatura is something of a theme park, while Santa Elena, though more serious, threw up little in terms of wildlife.

Nonetheless, one of my abiding memories of this country is being in bed at the Rustic Lodge, with astonishing winds whirling round the outside of it, seeming to carry us away.
