Taxis are a viable method of transportation in the countryside as well as in the cities and towns of Costa Rica. Taxis in Costa Rica offer excellent service and they are much cheaper than in other countries.
All taxis in the cities have a meter (Maria in spanish), which you must make sure is turned on when you enter the cab. Taxis charge more if they leave the city, so you must make sure to ask about an approximate amount before being taken there.
Most of the taxis outside of San Jose are large, 4WD Land Rovers and Range Rovers. The drivers know how to get everywhere, and often near national parks and biological reserves you will find that they are informative guides.
