How to get to Uvita from San José and the airport

Uvita coastline and landscape, Costa Ballena

Uvita is on the South Pacific coast, about 3 to 4 hours from San José. Here are the best ways to get there.

By car

From San José, take the Costanera Sur (Route 34), a scenic 3 to 4 hour drive. Great if you want to explore the area at your own pace.

By shuttle or private transfer

The most comfortable option: you're picked up at the airport (SJO) or your hotel and taken straight to Uvita. We arrange private and shared transfers.

By bus

There are direct buses from San José to Uvita and Dominical. It's the most economical option, though it takes longer.

By plane

You can fly from San José to Palmar Sur or Quepos and continue by land. Ideal if you want to save time. Message us and we'll help you plan the most convenient route.
