Getting Here and Around

The drive from San José takes less than two hours; take Highway 27 west of San José beyond Orotina, and then take the exit to Jacó and Quepos. The exit, on the right after Herradura, is well marked. There’s a gas station at the second entrance to town close to Club del Mar. Buses leave from San José's Terminal 7-10 station seven times daily, with an extra run on weekends.
