Meet your driver
Travesía is me, Eddie — a local driver based in La Fortuna. I was a teacher from 2014 to 2018, and that same patience and care is what my guests still notice today. In 2022 I founded Travesía to give travelers what matters most: arriving on time, honest and clear prices, and genuine care from the airport to your hotel.
When you book, you're not talking to a call center — you're talking directly with me on WhatsApp. I make sure every trip across Costa Rica is safe, comfortable and stress-free. Pura vida!
“We had an amazing experience with Eddie today in La Fortuna! He was on time, super easy to reach, very fair prices, and incredibly patient. He waited for us when we needed a little extra time and was right there as soon as we finished our activity. I highly recommend Eddie to anyone visiting La Fortuna!”
“Their service exceeded our expectations — prompt communication, friendly accommodating drivers, clean and comfortable vehicles, safe driving, always on time. I can't recommend Eddie's business enough.”
“I can't thank Eddie & his team of very good drivers enough. Can't fault them — 100% on time (early). They made our 3 week holiday stress free.”

On the way
Turn the drive into part of the trip. Quick courtesy stops are free on your private transfer — just ask your driver.
On the coastal route to Jacó and Manuel Antonio — pull over and watch wild crocodiles from the bridge over the Tárcoles River.
💦On the scenic route to La Fortuna / Arenal — a quick photo stop at the roadside La Paz waterfall.
☕Restroom, a Costa Rican coffee or a bite at a local soda — whenever you need it along the way.
Quick stops are included free. Want a longer sightseeing stop? Upgrade to Travesía VIP and your driver builds it into the trip.
Day tours
More than a transfer — turn a travel day into a full Costa Rica adventure with your own private guide.
Mistico hanging bridges, a volcano hike at El Silencio, tortilla-making, a traditional lunch and the La Fortuna Waterfall — with private transport and a private guide.
Real photos
Real vehicles, real trips — from the airport to the volcano and the coast.
Travel with peace of mind
Honest answers to what travelers worry about most.
Yes. We follow your flight live and move your pickup to match it, so your driver is already waiting when you walk out — even past midnight, and never a higher price for a late arrival.
You won't have to search. Your driver arrives early with a sign showing your name, and the day before we text you their name and direct WhatsApp — alongside our own line — so you always have two ways to reach us.
Completely. Every trip is fully private — it's only ever you and the people you're traveling with, never other passengers. You get a trusted local driver and WhatsApp support from pickup to drop-off.
Of course. The van is air-conditioned, we drive gently, and we'll stop for fresh air the moment you ask. Child seats are free on request, and bathroom or snack breaks are always welcome.
Plans change — we get it. Cancel free up to 48 hours before your pickup; inside 48 hours the trip is non-refundable. A quick WhatsApp message is all it takes.
Always. The day before, we message you on WhatsApp with your pickup time, the exact meeting point and your driver's details — so nothing is left up in the air.
