Go Visit Costa Rica Launches New Costa Rica Travel Time Section
Aimed at providing potential tourists with accurate travel times in Costa Rica, Go Visit Costa Rica launches its new Costa Rica Travel Time Section. A unique feature, here travelers can find the travel times and distances to and from various cities all across the country.

What makes this feature so unique is that this section contains travel times to and from key cities and towns all across the country. Thus, making it easier to get from one place to the next, without any hassles or worries.

Costa Rica is a small country however many places can take a longer amount of time to get to than you may expect. The Go Visit Costa Rica Time / Distance Chart will give you a better idea of how long it takes to get to and fron your destination.

For example, the travel distance between San José downtown and Playa Jacó is rougly 117 kilometres (73 miles) but it takes, according to the chart, 2 hours and 12 minutes. Quepos/Manuel Antoion, another favourite tourist destination is only 192 kilometres (120 miles) and the travel time is 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Other favourite tourist destinations (to and from San José) are Tamarindo, 274 Km ( 171 mi) 4 hours and 30 minutes; Liberia, 217 Km (136 mi), 4 hours; Puerto Limón, 141 Km (88 mi) 3 hours and 30 minutes. The list also included time / distance between destinations like Jacó and Puntarenas, making travel planning easier.

Travel maps, for the most part, indicate the distance between points but do not state the travel time, as the same distance can vary in the actual time it takes to travel, depending on the topography and condition of the route.

The list is pretty accurate and the operators of the website say they will update on a regular basis. However, there are some errors that need immediate fixes, like Quepos/Jacó that takes an hour at best to travel, though the website states 2 hours, or the Dominical/Quepos route which, if the road were in good condition, would take 45 minutes, but in reality can take as much as 2 hours.
