A do-it-yourself and 4x4 tour of beautiful Costa Rica

The deal: The land-only package is $540 per person, double occupancy, and includes rental of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, two nights’ accommodations in the capital, San Jose (also Costa Rica’s largest city), one night at the Arenal Paraíso Hotel in the Arenal Volcano area, two nights at Hotel Claro de Luna in Monteverde near the Cloud Forest Reserve, two nights at Hotel Giada in Guanacaste province near Samara Beach, as well as health and travel insurance.
