Getting to Nosara from
San Jose
or Liberia
This page is an overview of how to get to
Nosara,
Costa Rica. First,
however, you need to get to
Costa Rica. You are most
likely going to fly, and will be flying to
San Jose, or
Liberia. There are a
number of airlines that fly to San Jose,
Delta, American, Taca, Martin Air, and Spirit Air. You are
a bit more limitied flying into
Liberia, and will most
likely be flying Delta or American. I personally like to fly
Martin Air and Taca, as the staff is super nice and the
plans are new. I almost always fly into
San Jose as it usually saves you a
lot of money and then you can hop a flight right to Nosara,
super quick. For tickets I now look at travelocity or
orbits, they tend to have the best prices.
From
Liberia:
(about 2 hour drive)
If you are coming from
Liberia, it is super easy.
You will hang a right out of the airport and go 60km until
you get to Nicoya. You will hang a
right towards Nicoya
and Samara, and then follow the directions below from
Nicoya. (Nature Air now flies to and from
Liberia!)
From San Jose:(about
a 5 1/2 hour drive)
From the Interational Airport in San
Jose... You will need to get on Calle
1 towards San Ramon. Follow the signs it is pretty easy.

You will go over the
Taiwan
bridge until the road comes to a T which is the picture
below. This leg is 48km (30miles) Hang a Right at the T
towards Nicoya and Nosara.
The next main intersection you will
come to will be the pic below. It is 13km (8
miles). You will hang a left at the
flashing light.
You then follow that road right through Nicoya.
On the left about a km after the turn there is a gas station
on the left and a great little tico lunch/breakfast stop,
super cheap and good. Follow this road until you come to
another T, and are looking at the store below. 13 km (8 miles). Hang a Right.

Follow this road for 19km (12
miles) until you pass the gas station
on the left. This is your last stop for good gas and I
recommend filling up (they only take cash, about 5 bucks a
gallon). About 100m after the station you will hang a right
on where on a dirt road. There are signs to Nosara.
At this point you should slow down and start paying
attention. There are many places where the roads are washed
out, or very narrow one way bridges are around blind
corners. Follow this road for
8 km
(5 miles),
it seems like so much longer, until you come to another T
shown below, and hang a right.
