QUESTIONS on Costa Rica

I will be taking a private taxi from San Jose to Arenal.... I have been told
that the drivers will often stop at places along the drive for photo opps. Is
there any place along the road from San Jose to Tabacon area that I should ask
the driver to stop at?

Also, throughout the country....is it easy to get an advance on a VISA card? I
am planning on carrying very little cash...and I've been told that travelers
checks are a waste in CR.

Will most hotels offer this service? Or do I have to go to a bank?

GRACIAS

I don't have a map in front of me, but I believe that Sarchi, the place
where they paint the oxcarts, is on the way.

The easiest way is to set up a PIN with your credit card before you go, and use
an ATM.
