The experience

Your driver meets you at the main international exit of San Jose airport once you've cleared customs, or at your hotel reception if you're departing from the city. You board a modern, air-conditioned van for the drive to La Fortuna de San Carlos. The route covers roughly 2 to 3 hours of travel, and the driver takes you straight to your hotel or the specific destination you've named at booking.

Your driver speaks English or Spanish, depending on what you've arranged. The vehicle is climate-controlled for the journey through changing terrain and elevation as you leave the Central Valley and head toward the northern lowlands where La Fortuna sits.
