Step 1

Flights to/from Costa Rica

International Airport:

Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO), 17 km outside San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica.

Airlines:

American, United, Frontier, COPA Panama, Delta, US Air, Continental, America West, Southwest, LACSA, Mexicana, Taca and many others airlines fly to Costa Rica.

A travel search engine we highly recommend is www.kayak.com.

We recommend that you allow 2 hrs between your international and domestic flights on both ends of your trip for customs, baggage claim, and ticketing.

Step 2

Getting to us from SJO:

There are two ways of getting to/from Santa Teresa: a domestic flight or shuttle bus. We highly recommend the flight, as it allows for more time at the beach.

Domestic Flight:

If you’re looking to squeeze every ounce of vacation time in, we recommend booking a 30-minute puddle jumper flight on Sansa airlines ($60-$140 each way), leaving from SJO and arriving in Tambor.

Both Sansa and Green Airways depart right next door to the San Jose airport in the domestic terminal. These flights are part of the adventure and will start your trip off right with a beautiful flight over the Costa Rican jungle to the Nicoya Peninsula.

Once in Tambor, expect a 1-hour taxi ride. Taxis cost approximately $50/each way for 1-4 people and $15 for each additional person. We will schedule a taxi to pick you up in Tambor, so look for a sign with your party’s name or the “Pura Vida Adventures” sign.

There are a limited number of flights and seats to Tambor, so make your reservation early!
