Drive to Caño Negro
Caño Negro is located in the northern region, in-between 25 kilometers from Los Chiles and 30 kilometers from Upala. The region is accessible all year by car or by bus. If you decide to travel by car in Costa Rica, we advise you to always rent at least a small 4×4, because in Costa Rica we do not have very good roads, doesn’t matter where you go.
If you want to visit Caño Negro, just drive there. You have 2 options:
If you are in Guanacaste Region, you have to drive thru Upala.
If you are in the west region, like Arenal or Sarapiquí, you have to drive in direction to Los Chiles.
