How accessible is Hotel San Bosco, and what should we know about transportation and safety when planning our trip there?

Accessing Hotel San Bosco is straightforward, typically involving a scenic drive from San José, and we recommend renting a 4x4 vehicle for maximum flexibility on local roads. Costa Rica is generally very safe for tourists, but always exercise standard precautions, especially when exploring trails within the refuge.
