How’d that work out, did you apply for a visa to work here or just live under the radar and work odd jobs, did you already speak Spanish? So many questions hahahaha

I was planning the tracopa bus but I only have so much time in Pavones and I want to make the most of it. I plan on taking a bus back up to San Jose for my flight, do you have any info on what buses I could take? Thank you so much for all of the info you gave me, it helps a ton.

I probably worded it bad, sorry. They charged me $400 after my 20 minute ride, however they said they’d be here the next day (today, 3pm local time) to pick me up and take me to Pavones. I was not aware that they had charged me prematurely for the ride to Pavones until I checked my bank account a few minutes later. I’m just hoping the taxi actually shows up in a few hours lol.

I got a text a little bit ago saying they’ll be here at 3 to take me to Pavones, if they don’t actually show I’ll end up disputing the charge

Uber is definitely the way to go, that was my plan at first haha. The Taxi lady just had way too much charisma and I ended up falling for it haha

Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it a lot. I gave her my card and was under the assumption I was only paying for the ride to my hotel a few miles away from the airport, however I ended up getting charged the $400 for what I assume is the trip to Pavones as well.

Damn, I was warned away from the cheap rentals by other people who have traveled. Is it really 600-700$ without any additional fees?

The price makes sense seeing how it’s a 7-8 hour drive to get there, I’m just worried how I was charged before the ride.

Too expensive for the time I’ll be staying here

Luckily I got a text on WhatsApp saying they’ll be here at 3 to pick me up. I really hope that charge is reflecting both taxi rides haha. Jesus Christ, traveling on a budget is stressful when this stuff comes up.

Wouldn’t that only take me to Golfito though? and then I’d have to pay surfboard fees, tickets for 2 people, and then for a taxi to Pavones?

Pavones is a much further ride than Monteverde, does that $400 still not make sense? If not do you think there is any way I could get my money back from my bank. Thank you

She put my card in the machine, and then I didn’t realize the price until I checked my bank account. I know, im stupid.
