... local way. Again the only option was a colectivo to Peñas Blancas where that bus dropped us off. Then we needed to stand in a long queue to get our exit stamp for Costa Rica, then walk about 15mins and then queue again to get our entry stamp for Nicaragua.

Manuel Antonio
Today we left Guatemala for our trip back to Costa Rica. Our flight on TACA was on time and we found the weather to be just perfect on our arrival in San Jose. We rented a car with Europcar, which we found to be the best deal. It was a bit outside the airport, but for $322USD for 8 days unlimited mileage, we found it cheap compared to the majors.
