Flying to Puerto Viejo Costa Rica

Getting to Puerto Viejo by plane is easier than you might think. In this article, we'll show you how to travel from any destination to Puerto Viejo by taking a domestic flight from San Jose to Limón.



To book your flight, simply visit flysansa.com and select your travel dates and times. You will then be prompted to enter your personal and payment details to complete your booking. It's important to note that Sansa Airlines offers several flight options throughout the day, making it easy to find a flight that fits your schedule.


The first leg of the journey is to fly to San Jose International Airport, also known as Juan Santamaría (SJO), the largest airport in Costa Rica. SJO is well-connected to many international destinations, making it a convenient starting point for your journey to Puerto Viejo. Once you land in SJO, you will have to pass customs and head to the Domestic Gate: there is a big old airplane outside, so it’s easy to spot.


The flight takes approximately 40 minutes on a small but safe Cessna, giving you a bird's eye view of Braulio Carrillo National Park.


Once you arrive in Limón, a private transfer will drive you to Puerto Viejo for approximately $75 USD. A chauffeur will be waiting for you at the airport and will drive you directly to your accommodation, ensuring a stress-free and comfortable journey. Alternatively, you can take a bus or taxi from Limón to Puerto Viejo, but we recommend arranging a private transfer beforehand to save time and avoid any potential scam.
