Monumento Nacional Arqueológico Guayabo Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The last 3km of the drive to the monument may be passable to normal cars, if it’s dry and you’re careful, though your life will be made much easier with a 4WD. Buses from Turrialba (US$0.75, one hour) depart at 11:15am, 3:10pm and 5:20pm, and return at 12:45pm and 4pm. Buses and most taxis (about US$10 one way from Turrialba) drop you at the turnoff to the park, from where it’s a 4km hike.
