Directions from San Jose Costa Rica's Airport to Dominical

Drive into San Jose from the airport.' You will pass by the Sabana park, lots of eucalyptus trees on your right, then a Nissan dealer on your right, keep going past several intersections that have stop lights and guys selling cell phone acoutrements. There is a final left turn prior to McDonalds. I think that it will be rather easy to find since most of the traffic will flow that way. This will put you on a big ole drive that runs straight into the southern edge of the city. Stay on this as it goes through an industrial part of the city, and a dumpy part of the city, and then seems to get into a kinda nice part of the city. Take it all the way to the end. Go left, then right, follow the flow of traffic that will do another left then right to get up onto a highway in front of the San Pedro Mall, which actually has a sign on it that says something like Planet Mall or some such. That is the San Pedro Mall. If you end up stuck at the end with no where to go, just back track a little bit and turn uphill to get to the highway. You will go to the roundy round in front of the mall and go to the right toward Cartago. Go to the next roundy round and go around the thing 3/4's and head toward Cartago again. Take that road straight through to the stop lights and everything. Just go straight until you get to a confusing array of options. One of which is Cartago again. Take that. You are now on the main road to Cartago and San Isidro. You have just one more possible snag. You have to take a right fork off of this road to the San Isidro highway. It is just past the large Shell station and actually has a green and white sign. Once you get here you can relax... well as regards getting lost. Don't relax really cuz it is one curvy mountain Latin American road that requires that you expect to have someone coming at you in your lane around every blind curve. Not what one would call relaxing, but it is gorgeous. This road'll drop you down into San Isidro in about 2 1/2 hours. Turn right at the McDonalds and drive to Dominical.
