• The easiest way to travel from San José to Paquera is taking the new motorway (number 27) to Puntarenas, this will take you about 1.5 hours. From there you cross the Gulf of Nicoya by ferry “Naviera Tambor” in approximately 70 minutes. From the ferry dock in Paquera it is only a 5 km drive. It is easy to get to Paquera with public transportation. From San Jose you are able to take a direct bus, leaving every hour from 6AM - 7PM. The terminal is located on Avenida 10 y 12, Calle 16, Barrio los Ángeles. Once you arrive in Puntarenas, you need to take a taxi to the Ferry “Naviera Tambor”. The boat ride will take you in about 70 minutes across the Gulf of Nicoya. At the ferry dock in Paquera you could either take the bus that hits to Cóbano and get of in Paquera at “Parada Entrada Cabinas Rosita”, from there it is short walk or you take a taxi.
• From the ferry dock of Paquera it is only a short ride (5km) to town, once you arrive to the centre of town you just keep on going for on other +/-500mts. After the school and Seafood restaurant you turn the first street to your left, then the first street to your right hand side and you will find us at the left side of the road. If you arrive by bus from the ferry, ask the bus driver to stop at the bus stop by Barrio Organos (just after the school), here you take the street on your left hand side and the the first to your right. It is about a 5 minute walk.
