Bus
Using public buses from San Jose is also possible. In this case, you would need to take a taxi from the airport to the bus station for the Caribbean side of the country. The address for the bus station in San Jose is Central Street
road to Tibas, next door to Kamakiri. This is the Station Bus to the Caribbean Side. Price is USDLS 3.00 and make sure to get a ticket to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui because at the same station you can get tickets to Puerto Viejo de Limon, which is in a different province.
The directions to the Bus Station in Spanish are :
Estacion de buses al Caribe. TRANSPORTES CARIBENOS. Calle Central, carretera a Tibas. Contiguo a Kamakiri. San José.
Buses to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, the town closest to La Quinta Sarapiqui Country Inn, arrive from San Jose through two different routes; one is through Heredia Province, which is the “Western route”. “Eastern route” goes across the Braulio Carrillo National Park and we call it “directo”,meaning it will go straight and faster to Puerto Viejo.
If you take the one through Braulio Carrillo National Park, get off at the last bus stop in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui. Right in front of the last stop, you will se the soccer field and the taxis there. The rate from Puerto Viejo to La Quinta is about USD$8.00.
If you take the route through Vara Blanca, ask the bus driver to drop you off at BAJOS DE CHILAMATE EN COMISARIATO LAS BRISAS, which is a small store in front of the entrance to La Quinta and located 1.2 Km from us. There you can call us from the pay phone outside the grocery store. We will be pleased to pick you up! |
