          Hi Eric!

          Great question! The exact route you take will be determined by your entry point into Costa Rica. Do you plan to enter the country at Costa Rica’s north side, via the border at Sixaola? Or do you plan to enter the country at Costa Rica’s south side, via the border at Paso Canoas?

          If you plan to enter via Sixaola, you’ll travel throughout the Caribbean, the Central Valley (unless you opt to veer north and travel through the Northern Zone), and Guanacaste before ending in Tamarindo. If you plan to enter via Paso Canoas, you’ll travel through the Southern Pacific, the Central Pacific, part of the Nicoya Peninsula, and Guanacaste before arriving at Tamarindo.

          Assuming you plan to enter via Sixaola, we can offer a few discounts for things to do in Caribbean towns. Please see the links below for more information.

          If you plan to enter via Paso Canoas, you’ll travel right past Manuel Antonio, which offers several things to do.

          La Fortuna (Arenal) and Monteverde are two of Costa Rica’s top destinations. Both are worth a visit and offer many nature and adventure experiences (see the links below for activity inspiration), however, neither destination normally falls along routes between Panama and Tamarindo (both would require a detour). An exception to this would be if you entered the country via Sixaola and opted to travel through the Northern Zone (skipping the Central Valley) en route to Guanacaste. This would cause you to travel through La Fortuna (Arenal). If you wish to visit Monteverde, you could detour off Highway 1 just north of Puntarenas, then backtrack the same way for continued travel to Tamarindo.

          Pura vida! 🙂
