Puerto Viejo (Talamanca) to Liberia Airport (LIR)

When the Caribbean chapter ends and your flight leaves from the Pacific side, we close the loop: a private, door-to-door ride from Puerto Viejo de Talamanca all the way to Liberia International Airport (LIR). It’s a full cross-country day, so we plan it around your flight — give us your flight number and departure time and we set the pickup with a generous margin. The road runs up the Caribbean coast past Limón, climbs Route 32 through Braulio Carrillo’s rainforest, and crosses into Guanacaste’s open cattle country. Room for boards, bikes and every souvenir — and the trip pauses whenever you need a coffee or a last photo. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.

Puerto Viejo (Talamanca) to Sámara

Caribbean breakfast, Pacific sunset — Puerto Viejo to Sámara is Costa Rica coast to coast in a single private ride. Leaving Cahuita National Park and the reggae calm of Talamanca behind, the road follows the Caribbean lowlands to Limón, climbs through the misty rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park, skirts the Central Valley near San José, and then drops into Guanacaste, crossing the Tempisque River onto the Nicoya Peninsula. It’s the longest transfer on this list and a genuine full travel day — which is exactly why you want it private: real meal stops, your own pace, and one driver door to door who knows the route well. Sámara rewards the effort with calm, reef-protected water and a whole new ocean to fall asleep to. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.

Puerto Viejo (Talamanca) to San José Airport (SJO)

Trading the Caribbean’s reggae pace for a boarding pass? Book the ride and forget the logistics. Pickup is at your door in Puerto Viejo, and the route hugs the coast past Cahuita and its national park before turning inland at Limón, where Route 32 carries you through banana country and up the misty green slopes of Braulio Carrillo National Park — one of the lushest stretches of highway in the country. It’s a proper cross-country haul to San José’s Juan Santamaría Airport (SJO), so tell us your flight and we set a pickup time with a generous cushion built in. A last patí or slice of coconut bread for the road? Ask your driver where to stop. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$20 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.

Puerto Viejo (Talamanca) to Tamarindo

Sea to sea in a single ride. Leaving Puerto Viejo means trading reggae, jungle beaches and Caribbean cool for Guanacaste surf and sabanero country — and a private shuttle turns that entire crossing into one relaxed day. The route heads up the coast past Cahuita National Park and the port of Limón, threads through the green wall of Braulio Carrillo National Park, skirts the Central Valley, and descends into the dry heat of the Pacific northwest. It’s one of the longest hops travelers make in Costa Rica, which is exactly why you don’t want to attempt it on a chain of public buses: nap, snack and stop at will while your driver does the work. By evening you’re in Tamarindo — new coast, new waves, same adventure. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.
