Note that once you’re at Tiskita, there’s a chance that you won’t need or use your expensive rental car that much. Tiskita provides shuttles to most of the activities in the area and most guests decide that they’d rather just relax in their hammocks, enjoying the birds and the breeze. This is one reason we at Tiskita recommend one of the flight options instead as they ultimately end up being less expensive and a much quicker way to get here.
