	Getting to Costa Rica There are two international airports in Costa Rica FLY to San Jose, Costa Rica (Juan Santamaria International Airport) airport code is SJO. or FLY to Liberia, Costa Rica (Liberia International Airport) airport code is LIB. Getting to MalPais from San Jose FLYING Take a flight from San Jose/Liberia to Tambor. It's just a 30 minute flight on Nature Air (www.natureair.com) ($65-$75) or Sansa (www.flysansa.com) ($65) From Tambor taxis are available or rental companies will pick you up with your rental 4x4. It is approx. a 40 minute drive to MalPais. SHUTTLE To Shuttle from San Jose/Liberia: There are many agencies online, one we recommend is Montazuma Expeditions email: info@montezumaexpeditions.com Tel: (506) 4408078 They will pick you up at the airport and take you right to your door in MalPais for $35/person. (including ferry ride). DRIVING YOURSELF From San Jose to MalPais it takes about 4-5 hours... this includes a beautiful ferry crossing on the Gulf of Nicoya. Drive West on Panamerican Highway 1 to Punterenas (through Palmares, San Ramon, Esparza), take the ferry to Paquera, and then drive West to Tambor, and then to MalPais. From Liberia to MalPais it takes about 5-6 hours... this includes a beautiful drive South down the Pacific coast, but beware of crossing the Bongo river at high tide - you may have to wait for the tide to retreat :). Drive South to Tamarindo, and then South to Nicoya, Carmon, Lepanto, and into Paquera, then West to MalPais (ask for directions, there is only one good road.) Rental Cars EuropCar or Budget or for a complete list of US car rental companies in Costa Rica see this link. (dont go to Jaco though! just use the list of car rental contacts.) We recommend a 4X4 as most of the roads are unpaved.
