Aeropuerto de San José (SJO) a Arenal (La Fortuna)
Why spend your first night in a city hotel when you could wake up next to the volcano? Touch down at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and your driver — who has been tracking your flight, so a delay never leaves you stranded — meets you, loads the bags, and points the car north. The climb out of the Central Valley is a trip in itself: coffee farms around Naranjo, the famous topiary garden of Zarcero, then the long green descent through Ciudad Quesada into the northern lowlands. Feel free to ask for a roadside fruit stand or your first cup of Costa Rican coffee. La Fortuna announces itself with the near-perfect cone of Arenal Volcano, hot springs steaming in the forest, and waterfalls a short ride from town. 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.
