Be careful on the roads as you may quickly come up to an ox-cart or horses. In many ways these make more sense than a tractor, but I'm sure 20 years from now all we will see is tractors. You will of course still need to watch out for those!

when you arrive at Santa Elena and Monteverde at the end of all those holes of the bumpy ride and you are asked a free offer of 100 colones (less then 20 cents of euros) for the maintenance of the roads, you don't even think to say no thanks ;-)...
