How do I get to Jaco?
Jaco is 73 miles west from San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. A number of US airlines provide frequent service to San Jose’s Juan Santamaria International Airport. Delta, American, US Airways, United and Continental fly by non-stop to San Jose from their respective hubs in Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Charlotte, Chicago and Houston. From Europe, there are direct flights from Madrid, and from Amsterdam via Martin Air. More flights are being added all the time. The scenic drive through the mountains takes approximately 2 hours from de Juan Santamaria Airport (although the new highway to Jaco is being constructed and will cut drive time down to 45 min). Rentals Cars are available from major rental agencies such as Hertz, Avis, Euro, Alamo, and National Car Rental. Buses or cabs can also be hired from the International Airport for those who like to sit back and leave the driving to someone else.
