Getting Here

How to reach us

By Car

From San José

~3.5 hours

Take Route 1 (Panamerican Highway) north toward Puntarenas. Exit at Las Juntas / Cañas, then follow signs to Monteverde via Route 606. The last 30km is an unpaved mountain road — 4WD recommended in wet season.

By Shuttle

From San José or Liberia

Daily departures

Several shared shuttle companies run daily services from San José (SJO) and Liberia (LIR). We recommend Interbus or Desafío. Book in advance during high season. We can arrange pick-up from the shuttle stop.

By Jeep-Boat-Jeep

From La Fortuna / Arenal

~3 hours

The scenic jeep-boat-jeep transfer crosses Lake Arenal by boat and connects the Arenal volcano area to Monteverde. A spectacular journey combining two iconic destinations. We can arrange this for you.
