Private Transfer Juan Santamaria Airport to Pérez Zeledón

Skip the rental desk and arrive rested at your mountain lodge

A private transfer takes you from Juan Santamaria Airport to Hacienda AltaGracia in Pérez Zeledón over 4 to 5 hours in an air-conditioned vehicle. Your driver meets you at the airport with a sign, tracks your flight if it's delayed, and drives while you watch the green landscapes and mountains of the Central Pacific region unfold. Bottled water is included.

The experience

Getting from the airport to a remote lodge usually means renting a car, navigating unfamiliar roads, or gambling on a shared shuttle. This transfer solves that: a driver meets you at baggage claim with your name on a sign, loads your bags, and handles the route while you settle in. The vehicle is modern and air-conditioned. If your flight lands late, the driver monitors arrivals and waits: no rush, no extra charge, no guessing whether someone will still be there.

The drive to Pérez Zeledón takes 4 to 5 hours. The road climbs through the green landscapes and mountains that define this part of Costa Rica. Your driver knows the region and can point out what you're passing, but the point of a private transfer is that you set the pace: stop for a break, ask questions, or just rest. Bottled water is in the vehicle. The route ends at Hacienda AltaGracia, your lodge in the wilderness.

You choose whether you want a one-way transfer or round-trip. Either way, the driver coordinates the timing with your actual flight, not a fixed schedule that assumes you'll land on time. Families traveling with children, groups with luggage, or anyone who doesn't want to drive after a flight finds this arrangement worth the cost.
