Transportation

It is important to negotiate a price before getting in the taxi. It is also recommended to avoid driving as parking can be difficult and driving can be confusing and overly congested in some areas.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting the beautiful Chapel of Peace, Parque Papagayo, or the Museum of History. If you have less time, consider skipping the Fort of San Diego. Keep in mind that La Quebrada Cliff Divers only perform twice daily at 1:00pm and 7:00pm. If you miss the morning performance, try to catch the evening one.
