adventure_exists — Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio

The rental car stayed at the hotel for this one... 🤫🚙 Even if you have your own wheels in Costa Rica, navigating the traffic and parking chaos between Quepos and Manuel Antonio isn’t always worth the headache. We took the local bus instead just to get a break from the roads! Why we loved it: ❌ Zero Stress: No mountain switchbacks to navigate and zero time wasted hunting for a parking spot. ✅ Pure Convenience: The white buses run every 20-30 minutes and drop you exactly at the beach roundabout. 💵 Total Steal: At ~380 Colones (under $1 USD), you save a fortune compared to park parking rates. Quick tips for your driving break: Keep a handful of colones coins in your pocket—no cards allowed. Heading back at 4:00 PM? The buses get packed right when the National Park closes, so plan around the rush! Hit save for your next Costa Rica adventure! ✈️ #CostaRicaRoadTrip #ManuelAntonioBeach #TravelHacks #QueposToManuelAntonio #CostaRicaTrip
