Travel Note
We recommend since the trip is in February, that once you know you want to come and can come, that you book lodging ASAP. There’s plenty of areas to stay however if we can all be close it would be a dream. Let us know if you have any questions with booking

When booking with Sansa, you have the option to pay a small fee and have them transport you to your villa, hotel, or house. We HIGHLY recommend this option, in fact we do this every time. Most of the drivers in fact know where every place is on the peninsula so don’t worry about having too much of a language barrier.

We have never done this but know people who do! Driving Time from SJO to Puntarenas Ferry it usually takes around 2:30 hours to Puntarenas. You can take the bus to Puntarenas which leaves every 40 min from the terminal at Avd 12, Calle 16 at the airport.Ferry leaves Puntarenas to Paquera at 5:30 am 9:00 am 12:00 am 3:00 pm 6:00 pm 8:30 pm (as of 8/2022) The boat ride across the Gulf of Nicoya takes 70 minutes at best. The crossing however is a scenic and relaxing trip with great views of the peninsula and the mountains of the mainland. and then continue by bus to Malpais. Driving Distances from the ferry in Paquera to Mal Pais and Santa Teresa is 53 km (80 min) Just shy of 5 additional travel hours once you land at the international airport

A car is overkill here. We rent ATVs for the duration of our stay from ALOHA rentals. If this is something you would consider reach out to Billy or I and we can touch base with Alex the owner, we have used him many times and can reserve them for you. Typical cost a day is ….$

Travel Note
Mal País, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica When thinking of renting an Air BNB think of staying South of Carmen beach- we stay as close to the south on the peninsula as we can. We can totally help you with this entire thing if you do decide to come! The town North of Carmen beach does get busy, though fun, we prefer the nights a little quieter.
