✔ No shared shuttles
✔ No waiting
✔ No uncertainty

Just private, personalized travel across Costa Rica.

Private transportation means having a dedicated vehicle and professional driver exclusively for your group.

Unlike shared shuttles or ride apps, your journey is:

• Fully private
• Flexible with stops
• Customized to your itinerary
• Operated by a licensed, insured chauffeur

This is the preferred option for families, couples, and VIP travelers visiting Costa Rica

Costa Rica’s roads can be:

• Narrow and mountainous
• Affected by weather conditions
• Poorly marked in rural areas

Travelers consistently highlight that having a professional driver:

• Reduces stress
• Improves safety
• Enhances the experience with local insights

A “Baqueano” is someone who knows the road — and that defines our service. 

We don’t just drive — we guide your journey with precision, reliability, and care.
