About Transfer Services

The road conditions from other parts of the country to Tambor are generally good, with paved roads connecting the town to major highways. However, during the rainy season, some rural roads may become unpaved or washed out, requiring extra caution when driving.

Travelers have two primary options for getting around Tambor: renting a car or booking a private transfer service. Renting a car provides the freedom to explore the area at one's own pace, but it also comes with the responsibility of navigating unfamiliar roads and finding parking. Additionally, car rental agencies may have limited options in Tambor, and vehicles may not be equipped with four-wheel drive, which can be necessary for navigating some rural roads. On the other hand, private transfer services offer a hassle-free experience, with experienced drivers familiar with the local roads and conditions. However, this option may be more expensive than renting a car, especially for longer trips.

It's essential to book transportation services in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. This ensures availability and the best possible rates. Tambor's remote location means that services may be limited, and last-minute bookings may result in higher prices or limited options.

Overall, Tambor's scenic location and limited public transportation options make private transfer services and car rentals the most convenient ways to get around. By planning ahead and researching transportation options, travelers can ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey to this beautiful coastal town.
