Question 2

What airport do I fly into?

Accepted Answer

International flight: Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO).
Domestic flight: Quepos (QXP)

Question 3

How do I get from the airport to Posada Natura?

Accepted Answer

You can get to Posada Natura by ground or by air. 
 
Taxi: A taxi will cost $180. You can take any orange/red taxi outside of the airport, these are official taxis and are sage. Or we can arrange for one of our local taxi drivers to pick you up. The drive will take anywhere from 2.5-4 hours depending on traffic.

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.

How is Posada Natura involved in Rainforest Conservation? What is Eco Era?

Accepted Answer

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.
