By Bus
A bus leaves daily from San Jose at 12:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. from the Alfaro bus station, which is 150 meters northwest from the Coca-Cola station. The cost of a one-way ticket is about Colones 3,500 (about US $7) per person, and the trip takes about 5 hours. We advise you to buy bus tickets one day in advance.
