Travel & Logistics
What airport should I fly into?
These airports are the primary entry points for international travelers visiting beautiful Costa Rica. San Jose and Liberia.
Costa Rica:
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) - Located near San José, the capital city of Costa Rica. It is the primary gateway for international flights.
Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) - Located near Liberia in the Guanacaste region, serving as another major international airport in Costa Rica. This airport is closest to any town in Guanacaste, where the retreats will be held.
From these two airports, you can take a small puddle jumper plane via companies Green Airways or Sansa to get to Nosara. The other option is taking a shuttle with a company.
