Starting with being transportated from Alajuela or San Jose, we have buses that come and go aproximatly every hour!

then we have bus services to every small town in Atenas!

bisides that, taxi serivise is pretty good, for not guessing I'll just say more than 100 cabs!

We also have private services very high recomened!

one of them is Walter's!

He is a young guy who has a taxi and a ban, he is a tour guide, so he can also show you Costa Rica while you stay in Atenas! sounds ironic, but, from atenas we can go to almost every small town in Costa Rica and come the same day!
He is also a pilot, so, want to fly over costa rica, talk to him about it!
