Brent W.
Toyota RAV4
I drove from Jaco to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, and back to Jaco. Route 27 between Jaco and San Jose is in good condition but has some congestion in places. The drive on route 32 from San Jose through Braulio Carrilo National Park was beautiful but the road has a lot of hills and turns, and the entire road between Braulio Carrilo National Park and the city of Limon (over 100 km or 2 hours) is under construction and is very disorganized with a lot of commercial vehicle traffic. I recommend only driving on route 32 during the day and when there is no rain. There are some nice beaches around Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, but they are also party towns with a lot of drug dealers and people hustling the tourists for money. This was my 6th time to visit Costa Rica but my 1st time to visit the Caribbean coast. I'm glad that I finally went, but I probably won't go back.
