VISITING ON YOUR OWN

Accommodations
- The Bird Route offers everything from high end lodges to home-stays. Visit each site’s description for information on accommodations.
Transportation
- Costa Rican has a good public bus system; buses leaving from the Caribbean Bus Terminal will get you into the region of the Bird Route.
- Renting a car is fairly cheap and gives you good flexibility; and most of the well-known rental companies are present in Costa Rica, and can be accessed at or near the airport.
- Private transport companies such as Interbus and Grayline can also help you move around.
Guides
