Hello all.
I’m just looking for some advice on a possible future trip to Costa Rica. I don’t want to cover various places I just want to find a lodge that I can stay at for around a week or so. I’m not bothered about building up a huge trip list. I would just go birding around the lodge or walks of a mile or two close by. I won’t be hiring a car so if I go any further I would just hire a local guide for a day or half day trip at the most. My budget for the trip would be around £1500 possibly more but not much. With this in mind can anybody advise on the following;
1. What are the best lodges within an hour or hour and a half’s drive from San Jose airport?
2. How easy is it to get to the lodges from the airport? Is public transport regular and reliable? Or do people take taxis and if so how much would it be for an hours journey to a lodge?
3. Are there lodges that have there own drivers that pick up from the airport?
Booking the flight and the lodge are easy enough it’s the bit between the airport and the lodge that I’m struggling with.
Thanks in advance.
