The road conditions from other parts of the country vary, but generally, the highways connecting Heredia to major cities like San José and Alajuela are well-maintained and easy to navigate. However, some rural roads may be unpaved or in disrepair, particularly during the rainy season. Travelers planning to explore the surrounding countryside should be prepared for potentially rough roads and plan accordingly.

When it comes to getting around Heredia, travelers have the option of renting a car or using a private transfer service. Renting a car provides the freedom to explore the area at one's own pace, but requires a certain level of comfort with driving in Costa Rica, particularly in urban areas.

Both options have their advantages, but travelers should be aware that driving in Heredia can be challenging, especially for those unfamiliar with local traffic laws and customs.

Regardless of which transportation option travelers choose, it's essential to book in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
