Despite the challenges, however, these roads offer access to some of the most beautiful and remote destinations in the country.
Costa Rica Driving 4X4 car
Tamarindo Roads Do you need a 4X4 car in Costa Rica? 🚙 Depending on your area of Costa Rica🇨🇷 and if you plan on exploring more of the country, your automobile needs may nee 4X4.The roads throughout Tamarindo vary in quality. The road from the airport to the center of town is paved but watch out for potholes that may not have been there the last time. Outside of the main drive through Tamarindo, the roads are dirt with conditions varying from fresh grade to severely rutted, as in you may get high centered with not all of your tires touching the road at the same time.
Most roads are quite narrow. When the road is marked “Prohibido Estacionar” (No Parking), it seems to be a suggestion. People often stop in the middle of the road to get out of the car and go into the shops to buy something or handle whatever business they need.
Costa Rica High Season
Although most of the time major congestion is not an issue, during high season and especially during the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s, walking through Tamarindo can feel like a real-life game of Frogger. Driving can feel like a game of Grand Theft Auto with motorcycles weaving between traffic and cars passing within centimeters of rubbing paint as drivers fold in mirrors to get by.
