San Jose Info
Getting There
By Air: The Juan Santamaria International Airport ( SJO ) lies 11 miles north of downtown. Major airlines include: America West, American Airline, Continental, Delta, Mexicana, Iberia, United.
Buses marked 'Ruta 200 San Jose' exit from the airport about every 15 minutes between 6AM-10PM. Since San Jose lacks a central terminal the buses drop passengers off near the city center on Avenida 2. Rides take 35 minutes and cost USD.55 cents. Luggage space is limited. If you are saddled with backpacks and/or suitcases consider a taxi. Taxi Unidos ( +011 506 221 6865 ) is the official cab company of the airport. These orange taxis charge a fixed rate, usually around USD12. Rides last 20 minutes. Avoid the unregulated cabs that lurk about the front terminal. The drivers are famous for ripping off tourists. By Train: Due to tracks being ravaged by earthquakes and mudslides there is no international train service into San Jose. By Bus: Despite being known as the transportation hub of Costa Rica there is no central bus station. Nor is there one predominant bus line. Instead there are a number of small bus companies, many of which whose 'terminals' consist of a window facing out on the street. Tica Bus ( +011 506 221 8954 ) is the closest thing to an international bus company, providing service to San Salvador, Panama City, Guatemala City, and Managua. By Car: San Jose can be accessed via the Inter-American Highway, which is part of the Pan American Highway. Bear in mind that Costa Rica holds the world's highest car fatality rate. Despite this dire statistic the highway abounds with staggering jungle scenery and is well maintained.
