Instructions to get to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí, by bus, from San Jose: Take a taxi from the airport ($20) or the center of San Jose ($5), to the "Gran Terminal del Caribe" bus station, which is located in the northern part of San Jose. At the bus station, buy a ticket to PUERTO VIEJO DE SARAPIQUÍ (not to be confused with Puerto Viejo de Limon). This trip takes about 3 hours.
Instructions to get to Tirimbina from Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí: The bus from San Jose only goes as far as Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí, so from here you will need to take another bus or taxi ($10) to reach La Virgen. This is a trip of 15km (10.5mi). You will see the sign for Tirimbina on the right hand side of the road and the parking area and offices are on the left. Instead of a taxi, you can also take another bus to La Virgen de Sarapiquí, which leaves Puerto Viejo every hour. There is a bus stop right in front of the Tirimbina parking area. |
