If you would like to take lots of day trips or check out other areas in Costa Rica after visiting Puerto Viejo we suggest renting a car. Connectivity ratings are based on the airports flight routes to other airports. If you are only going to Puerto Viejo or are heading down to Panama after, we suggest taking a private shuttle or public bus. Airports with scheduled flights sorted by distance. The bus stops in Limon (about two and a half hours into the drive) so you can buy snacks and use the bathroom. The ride will take you about four and a half hours and will cost about $12 per person for one way. You can see a complete time schedule here. If coming from San Jose you can take the Mepe bus to Puerto Viejo Costa Rica.

They are a local company which we know we can always rely on to provide exceptional service. We suggest renting your car with Adobe Rent-a-Car. You do not need a 4×4 for this route, but you might want something with a bit of power while driving through the national park. The roads are in good condition and it’s beautiful.
I absolutely love the drive along the coast. However, there has been a lot of road work here recently (they are widening the road so I doubt it will be over anytime soon) and there have been a lot of major backups.įrom there you follow a straight road to Limon and then drive down the coast.
The roads are well maintained here but there are a lot of curves in spots. In the beginning, you will have to do a little driving through San Jose though which can be a bit daunting and stressful.Īfter making it through San Jose you will drive through Braulio Carillo national park which is really pretty. The drive is not too bad for first time Costa Rica drivers.
