Rental Car: If you choose to rent a car, we recommend that you do it online ahead of time. Also it’s a good idea to call your credit card company and have them send you a copy of the Damage & Collision waiver. This will wave the extra insurance fee that car rental companies charge in Costa Rica. Making your reservation online in advance will also save you a large expense. There is plenty of space for you to park on our property.
Travel by Air: From San Jose International Airport you can fly to Quepos (QXP) on Sansa Airlines. These flights usually cost $90-$120. You will need to coordinate your main international flight separately from the Sansa flight through their website. Sansa only flies a few times per day so make sure to coordinate your international and local flight accordingly to ensure that they will work together.

In 1991, our founders bought 1,100 acres of primary rainforest in the Cerro Nara Mountains of Costa Rica to protect it against deforestation. This project became a 501(c) (3) called Eco Era. Since that time we have expanded our efforts to co-steward the full 10,000 acres of Cerro Nara in partnership with other private land owners, non-profits and the Costa Rican government.
