3 The “Massage” Road
💡 Survival Tip from the Mae
“Mae, the last 2 hours from Nicoya to Nosara are unpaved. It is bumpy and dusty—we call it ‘The Costa Rican Massage’. Don’t drink too much water before this part because the bathroom on the bus is… an adventure. Also, put your laptop in a padded case!”
