He will meet you at the passenger exit gate with your name on a sign. Please give us your flight and arrival information when you make your reservation with us.
Getting There By Car: Driving from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez is approximately an 8 hour drive. Leave early to avoid traveling at night because the roads can sometimes be treacherous. They can often be full of ruts and potholes with narrow bridges and have few if any signs for direction. A 4-wheel drive car is highly recommended and will make your trip more enjoyable. Once you arrive in Puerto Jimenez you will see our sign at the first crossroad. Turn left and you will see Cabinas Jimenez located right on the waters of the Golfo Dulce.
Getting There By Bus: From San Jose you can catch the daily bus that departs from Transportes Blanco, telephone: 2- 257-4121. The bus station in Puerto Jimenez is about 4 blocks away from our sign at the crossroad. Please advise us if you plan to arrive by bus and we will make arrangements to be here for you. It is approximately a 10 hour ride but it is not unusual for the bus to arrive late.
Getting There By Boat: You can also reach the Osa Peninsula via a boat from Golfito. There is a lancha leaving from the public dock every day around 11:30. You can also choose from many private boat captains who will ferry you across the Golfo Dulce. There is no car ferry!
