A 4wd is only needed sometimes. Only when you need it. And when one needs a 4WD even it may not get your through.
The two roads mentioned by me are the two approaches to Monte Verde. Maybe a 2wd will make it through, maybe not. It is the "not" portion that concerns me as a visitor with limited Spanish ability and lots of unpaved forest and jungle road driving experience. The added mobility is why I say a 4wd is imperative for a visitor. Want to spend your vacation sitting buried in mud or over a deep drop-off, go the car route. 99% of the time one does not need it. Jaimito is right except for the one time in a hundred.
Please note: Peachfront's vehicle is the same model as the one that we rented.
