Shared Shuttle from San José to Santa Teresa
An air-conditioned shared shuttle from San José to Santa Teresa on fixed daily departures.
The shared shuttle is the best-value way into Santa Teresa for one or two travellers. You share an air-conditioned van with other travellers, on a set departure time, with a few extra pickups and drop-offs along the way.
It takes roughly an hour longer than a private transfer because of those stops, and departure times are fixed — so if your flight lands late in the day, the next shuttle may not be until the following morning. That single constraint is the main reason travellers switch to a private transfer.
Drop-off is in Santa Teresa, usually at your accommodation if it’s on the main road.
