The driver eases onto National Highway 4, and for the next 4–5 hours the landscape alternates between coastal flats, roadside fruit stalls, and broad stretches of reclaimed farmland, each mile nudging you toward the capital.

Heavy rain can slow traffic and lengthen the trip—allow extra travel time between May and October.
