I have found when talking with people who are going to visit Costa Rica for a short time, maybe less than a week. They don't realize that the driving times between the different areas is longer than you would think. This is due to a variety of reasons such as road conditions, speed limits, traffic, and many roads are just 2 lanes.
When visiting for a short time of less than a week it is possible to fly into San Jose which is actually Alajuela and visit 2 -3 different areas of Costa Rica depending on your flight times.
For example if you arrive at Juan Santamaria International Airport at about noon time you could visit 3 areas.
Day 1 Quepos (Manuel Antonio area)
Day 2 Quepos
Day 3 Quepos / Monteverde
Day 4 Monteverde
Day 5 Monteverde / La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano area)
Day 6 La Fortuna
Day 7 La Fortuna / back to the airport* for your flight home
Please note it is recommended that you arrive at Juan Santamaria Airport 3 hours prior to your flight.
As you can see with the above itinerary you only spend 1 full day in each area.
