There is a great new service called vacations via van -. They offer trips to Panama and Nicaragua in a nice air conditioned van for very reasonable prices. They speak English too. You night want to try them.

Answer #3

you have 2 questions….get a passport or renew your visa…….don’t let the fact you can’t speak Spanish stop you from doing anything…..you are on a great adventure— talk to people–they usually know at least a few words in English….you will eventually learn how to communicate without language

Tourist-van shuttles are provided by Grayling’s Fantasy Bus (tel: 2220 2126;) and Interbus (tel: 283 5573). Both run overland transport from San José to the most popular destinations, and between other destinations (see website). There is great information about businesses in Costa Rica in the TicosLand.com directory and great general information in the TicosLand Costa Rica blog.
