Costa Rica & Manuel Antonio 8 Days, Self-Drive

San Jose → Alajuela 8 days Up to 30

About this trip

This is a self-drive trip through Costa Rica, starting and finishing in San Jose, with your own car and pace between stops. It suits you if you want the flexibility of driving yourself rather than following a group itinerary.

The main focus is Manuel Antonio National Park, one of the country's best-known protected areas, where you can spend real time exploring rather than rushing through on a day trip.

What you'll do

  • Self-drive from San Jose at your own pace
  • Explore Manuel Antonio National Park
  • Round trip beginning and ending in the capital
Good to know
  • Self-drive and self-guided — you're behind the wheel and navigating between stops yourself
  • Private trip, so it runs on your own schedule rather than with a group
