To travel around Costa Rica with public transportation is not the easiest or fastest way, but for sure it is cheap compared to the other methods. We wanted to come to Tamarindo from Sugar Beach close to Potrero. First we were supposed to take a taxi, or actually this time the shuttle that took the hotel's housekeeping. Edda had asked and got the information about the trip to Tamarindo that was as following: "First take a taxi to Potrero next to a football field and stand under the big tree. A bus to Santa Cruz drives there by, and you want to get off in Huacas in front of Banco Popular. From there you walk a bit back to the next road, because the bus to Tamarindo drives that way, or you can take a "collectivo" ride (locals taking several people at a time to different towns for a small fee)." If you have gotten used to good public transportation, you can imagine that this system may feel a bit confusing ;) Well, we got actually a free ride from the Sugar Beach receptionist because the housekeeping shuttle was stuck somewhere.
