Step off your flight and let a private driver carry you from the airport straight to the doorstep of your Caribbean lodging.
After a long flight, the last thing you want is to figure out rental counters, road signs or bus schedules. This SJO to Puerto Viejo transfer takes care of that first leg for you: a private vehicle with a driver, reserved for you and your travel companions only, waiting for you at Juan Santamaría International Airport when your flight lands.
From the airport, the ride takes you across the country to the southern Caribbean coast, where your lodging awaits in Puerto Viejo, Cahuita or Manzanillo. You leave the cool Central Valley behind and arrive in a warmer, greener world of coconut palms, rainforest and reggae rhythms, without having to think about directions.
Booking is simple. You share your flight number and arrival time, and the pickup is organized around your landing. The rate is set per vehicle rather than per seat, which makes this private transfer to Puerto Viejo a practical choice for couples, families and small groups alike. The team at Vacances au Costa Rica, a local agency based in San Francisco de Heredia since 2014, handles the arrangements and answers your questions in English.
Once you land at Juan Santamaría International Airport and make your way out of the terminal, your private driver welcomes you and loads your luggage into a vehicle reserved for your group alone. Because you shared your flight number and arrival time when booking, the pickup is planned around your landing. The road then leaves the Central Valley behind and heads east toward the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, where the air grows warmer and the vegetation thicker. Settle into your seat, watch the scenery change through the window and let someone else handle the driving. The ride ends at the door of your lodging in Puerto Viejo, Cahuita or Manzanillo, so you can begin your stay on the coast rested rather than worn out by logistics.
