How to get from San Jose to Tambor after 6 PM??

Question

I mean - can I take a taxi and how much does it cost?? Thank you very much.

Answer 1

That is a difficult route because you can not drive from San Jose to Tambor directly, you must take a car ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera and then drive about 25 minutes to Tambor.

the ferry schedule:

You will be doing this entirely at night should you decide to leave at 6pm. should you want a driver from start to finish it will be around $180.

you could wait to the next day and take a domestic flight:

Sansa Leaves from s****.>
Nature Air Leaves from Pavas Airport (closer to downtown San Jose)

There are some private planes or helicopters you could take through Arerobell they are about $400.  If I were you I would wait to the next day and take a domestic flight for around $75.

If you left at 6pm you might be able to catch the 8pm ferry, then you could make it to Tambor by around 10:15 but if the line is really long for th 8pm ferry you will have to wait until the next one which leaves at 10pm.
