Santa Teresa Shuttle: Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the drive from LIR or SJO Airport to Santa Teresa?

About 3.5 to 4 hours from Liberia (LIR), or 5 to 6 hours from San José (SJO), depending on the route and ferry timing.

Is a ferry involved in the trip to Santa Teresa?

Sometimes. Depending on your arrival time, we'll route you either via the Paquera ferry or the Río Tempisque bridge — whichever is faster and more comfortable that day — and coordinate the timing so you're not left waiting at the dock.

Are the roads into Santa Teresa and Malpáis rough?

Yes, sections near town are unpaved. A private, properly equipped van is far more comfortable than a shared shuttle, and your gear stays secure the whole way.

Can you also pick up from Montezuma?

Yes — Montezuma is about 30 to 45 minutes from Santa Teresa and is available as a private transfer.
