This package is the perfect option for those wild and free spirits who like to decide what to do on the spot. With this package, you choose where and for how long! Designing your own itinerary as you go is not the only advantage: you get better rates for hotels and rental cars, advice from an expert, and a 24 hour line available in case you need help of any sort. This is how the Ride and Discover package works: You will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in San José (the first night will be booked in advance). At this time you will be given all the documents you need for your trip: vouchers, hotel list with telephone numbers and maps. The next morning, a 4x4 vehicle will be delivered to your hotel, and a Costa Rican expert will provide a briefing of the country, mentioning destinations, routes, etc. Feel free to ask him all the questions you may have! Now you are ready to discover Costa Rica on your own! As you go, you can pick any hotel from the category you chose. There are 136 hotels included in the program, and three categories: I (Basic): includes 46 hotels to choose from II (Favorite): includes 114hotels to choose from III (Complete): includes 136 hotels to choose from The only condition is you can’t book the rooms in advance. You can call one day ahead to check availability, and you must identify yourself as part of this program. In each main area there are several hotels and lodges, so if one hotel is full, it’s likely another will be available. At the end of the trip, just drop off the car at the airport, or at the rental car company’s office near the airport (you will be advised upon car delivery).
