TAXI TO CONGO-BONGO

The company we use is very reliable and will pick you up right at the International Airport of San Jose and bring you straight to Congo-Bongo Manzanillo no stops for other passengers, no waiting for the scheduled time.

Flying to Limon

There is no airport in Puerto Viejo but you can fly from San Jose to Limon and then continue on bus or Taxi to Congo Bongo - Manzanillo (a little more than an hour further). The two Costa Rican domestic airlines use small turboprop planes.

Nature Air flies from both San José's Pavas Airport (this is NOT the main international airport). Flights are not always daily though so check Nature Air for current schedules.

Sansa Air flies from a separate terminal at the main international airport San Jose. Although their route map shows San José to Limon flights, no flights have been scheduled yet but check the Sansa website for current information.

Getting to Puerto Viejo on the river?

Another option is to book a rafting trip on the Rio Pacuare, Rio Sarapiqui or Rio Renovacion. These all day trips are priced from $79 to $99 and they will pick you up in your choice of Puerto Viejo, San Jose or Arenal and drop you off in your choice! So it's kind of like getting your transportation for free! These trips run most days.
