normally only one departure per day which leaves in the morning.

much more time)

hours to reach Palmar Norte. If you have the time, the road winds through the
central highlands of Costa Rica and the scenery from the bus window can be an
extremely beautiful !!

ride will cost around $150us one way for up to 4 people and will also take you
around 5 1/2 hours.
3.Rental Car -Of course you can take a
rental car to all the way to Sierpe, and the convenience of not having to wait
for planes or buses is appealing to some. However, you must remember that you
can't drive to Drake Bay so the days you spend at the Jinetes de Osa will be
money wasted on the rental.
