Subject line pretty much states the question. We’re coming to CR for two weeks the end of January into February and by mistake ended up with two days and nights in between Manuel Antonio (three nights at Tulemar Resort) ) and La Fortuna (three nights at Tabacon Thermal Resort). Later destinations are Monteverde and Playa Mansita, flying back to US from Liberia.
Other than trying to extend our stays at Manuel Anotonio and La Fortuna, what suggestions do you have for us to fill the days and nights in this gap? We don’t intend to rent a car in CR, so we’d book private transportation to the intermediate destination and from there to La Fortuna.
Thanks for whatever you can suggest.

Hi Ken,
Normally we’d recommend going south of Manuel Antonio to the Costa Ballena or stopping somewhere sort of in between MA and La Fortuna, like Atenas. But both those options aren’t very good without a car since things are spread out. Instead you could check out Jaco, which is a really good place to stay without a car and would be on the way to La Fortuna. Or extending your time in either place would also be a good idea.
