Monteverde Lodge & Gardens sits in Monteverde, and we drive there every week. The transfer is private from door to door — your own vehicle, a local driver who knows the road, your flight tracked in case it lands late, and one flat price per vehicle with taxes included.
Prices in USD per vehicle (1–5 passengers, Hyundai Staria). For a group of 4 that works out to about $55 per person. Larger vehicles up to 12 passengers available — see all vehicles & prices.
Northwest on the Pan-American from San Jose Airport (SJO), then up through Sardinal and Guacimal to Santa Elena and Monteverde.
Highway to the junction; the climb is winding and slow.
It is better to arrive in daylight - the climb in fog is uncomfortable for passengers even though your driver knows it well.
Instant pricing, free cancellation up to 48h, and a driver waiting for you with a sign.
The same driver and the same flat price per vehicle, from the door of Monteverde Lodge & Gardens to anywhere else on your itinerary:
