You step aboard an air‑conditioned minivan in Tamarindo and watch the Pacific retreat as the road climbs into green. The driver eases through coastal plains, past cattle pastures and small towns, then negotiates the switchbacks that carry you toward Monteverde’s cool, cloud-wreathed ridges. Windows frame sudden views of the Gulf of Nicoya and, as altitude increases, a mist that seems to push the bus forward.
