How To Get There
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are multiple ways of getting to Matapalo, Costa Rica - but the quickest is by plane. We flew SANSA Airlines, Costa Rica to Puerto Jiménez and then rented a car. SANSA Airlines is just a short was away from the Juan Santamaría Airport in San José (SJO), Costa Rica.
