How Do I Get There?

Although I was rather enjoying myself in Quepos I was due to begin my week of bliss and yoga in Montezuma.  If you search for transportation option between the two there will be numerous results for the speed boat taxi from Jaco,  but there likely won’t be much about alternatives.  Clearly this speed boat was designed for tourists so I knew there had to be another option, after all people live here and not EVERYONE owns a car.  It’s funny though how complacent people can be, relying solely on what’s advertised.  After arriving in Montezuma I spoke to a traveler who said, “I didn’t know there was another option” while another traveler I met in Jaco told me he took the shuttle from Monteverde because “there’s no public transportation here”.  I don’t know what it is, maybe the travelers  in Costa Rica are just lazier, but I haven’t seen many on my public transportation journeys, and these two, who just couldn’t seem to figure it out.  I digress, back to the story, instead of paying the $45 for a taxi I chose the bus, ferry, bus option and while it does take a lot longer it’s also 1/8th of the price.
