21 – Transportation Options

Why Fabian’s TukTuk?

• We recommend Fabian, a reliable tuk-tuk driver.
• Price: about 9,000 CRC from Puerto Viejo (for 2 people).
• He knows the way very well and is usually cheaper than other tuk-tuk drivers.
• You will be supporting a local driver
• Riding a tuk-tuk in Puerto Viejo provides a more authentic and immersive way to experience the local culture.

Why not Uber?

• There is limited Uber availability
• Due to challenging road conditions, Uber is often unreliable in rural areas
• Some drivers may demand for higher cash fares than the app shows or request to sit in the front seat to avoid being identified by authorities.

Rent a bike

Another great way to get around Puerto Viejo is by renting a bike.
It’s one of the most common and convenient ways to move around, and you’ll find plenty of places offering bike rentals.
Just make sure to always lock your bike when heading to the beach or anywhere else, as bike thefts can occasionally happen in the area.

Embrace the local experience!
