Driving time between Jimenez and La Palma?
 
Hey, does anyone know about how long it takes to drive from Puerto Jimenez to La Palma? I'm guessing no more than an hour, but I just want to check. Thanks!

from me at TA, copying - hi plum, notes I have from Leonardo at BdC say it's about 3.5 hrs to Sierpe then I believe you'd have to take a boat from there.

I had a feeling I'd hear from you (you with your car rentin' self!).

Wait, are we talking about the same La Palma? I'm talking about the town of La Palma, I believe between Puerto Jimenez and Rincon (on the Eastern edge of the Osa Peninsula)? I may be totally turned around though -- so don't trust me.

It looks like you can drive from Puerto Jimenez to La Palma -- and it doesn't look too far. But, I'm consulting maps online -- I don't have my trusty road map of CR with me at work.

This is one of the maps I'm looking at:

Sorry plum, thought you meant the hotel, lol. Per CR route planner (using PJ-Drake and just taking the first half) it looks like 12-50 minutes.

sorry, still 1 handed, meant 45-50 minutes

Cool -- thanks! That's about what I was estimating.

Yes, according to the route planner from www.yourtravelmap.com it should take around 50 minutes. You can't enter La Palma as a destination, but the driving time to La Palmais mentioned to when you enter Drake Bay as a destination.
