The main international approach is Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO). Transfer by taxi or shuttle to the correct San Jose MEPE terminal if using the intercity bus. Transportes MEPE lists San Jose-Cahuita service at approximately four hours from the city bus terminal, excluding airport-to-terminal transfer and traffic. Verify the timetable, boarding point and last service for your actual day. The tourism board regional guide describes Route 32 to the Limon area and Route 36 south to Cahuita, Puerto Viejo and the Manzanillo corridor. Private shuttle and car travel are viable road alternatives. Do not infer a scheduled sea transfer or liveaboard from the existence of short guided snorkel boats.
Road-based: MEPE operates intercity services through Cahuita and Puerto Viejo; its website publishes indicative fares. Reconfirm schedules with the company before relying on connections.
