Between Santa Teresa and Samara we go back out to the main peninsula road and down through Jicaral and Cóbano. There is no shortcut along the beaches - the coastal track is slower and much harder going, so the inland road is the real route.
Gravel road for a good part of the way: short in kilometres, slow in time.
Better not to leave this one for the end of the day.
Final price per vehicle · taxes & tolls included · not per person. For a group of 4 that works out to about $89 per person.
