Costa Rica drives on the right, and intercity buses form the backbone of public transport, which makes reaching Heredia straightforward from most towns. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard breakfast, and the tropical climate splits into a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, so timing a visit around the rain is worth doing.
