I would highly recommend the coastal route through Jaco and Quepos and then on the dirt road from Quepos to Dominical. The mountain route is twisty and turny and there are lots of trucks driving like maniacs. If you go the coastal route, and you have some time, you can easily stop somewhere in Quepos/Manuel Antonio on the way. The road from Quepos to Dominical is bumpy, to say the least, but there are now bridges over all the river crossings. Also, I have talked to some people in Dominical and they said that a large portion of the road over the mountains washed out over the rainy season. They said that all traffic was diverted to the coastal route in order to get to Dominical. I don’t know the details as of right now, this was as of about a month ago. I am leaving tonight for Dominical and will be back Wednesday. I will do my best to give the complete update at that time.
