How to Get to Cabinas Jimenez

The Osa is the southernmost peninsula of Costa Rica. It is bordered on the east by the pristine Golfo Dulce and the west by the Pacific Ocean. This peninsula is more remote and less developed than any other part of Costa Rica and is known as the country’s wildest and most spectacular region.

Tourists are just now beginning to discover this little known lush-tropical paradise of unparalleled wildlife, miles of deserted beaches and virgin forests. The largest trees in Costa Rica are found here! The Osa Peninsula is absolutely Costa Rica’s best kept secret.

By Air

 

With all domestic airlines, you should check in around 60 minutes before departure time for domestic flights.

To avoid an overnight stay in San Jose plan to arrive before 12:00 noon and depart on a
local flight the same day.

If you do prefer to spend some time in San Jose we will be happy to suggest hotel reservations.

Rental Car

 

Driving from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez is approximately an 7 hour drive. Leave early to avoid traveling at night because the roads can sometimes be treacherous. The roads are much better but stretches 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.

There is only 1 rental car agency in Puerto Jimenez, Alamo (www.alamocostarica.com).
