About this drive

The drive from Juan Santamaría International Airport to La Fortuna takes about three hours on paved highway, climbing out of the Central Valley and down into the Arenal lowlands. It is the transfer most first-time visitors book, because La Fortuna is the usual first stop: a small town in Alajuela province at the foot of Arenal Volcano, 1,633 metres high, and the base for the hot springs, the 70-metre waterfall, the hanging bridges and the national park. Your driver tracks the flight, so a delayed arrival does not cost you the transfer, and the fare below covers the whole vehicle rather than a seat.

Included

  • ✓Door-to-door pickup and drop-off at your hotel, Airbnb or the airport
  • ✓Professional, English-speaking driver
  • ✓Modern air-conditioned vehicle, ICT-registered and fully insured

  • ✓Flight monitoring — your driver waits if you are delayed
