Overview: car trip from La Fortuna to San Jose
The drive from La Fortuna to San Jose spans 80 miles (130 km) and takes around 2 hours and 40 minutes by car, weaving through Costa Rica's lush jungles. It is most often done by shuttle bus or private car.
If youâd prefer a more customized and flexible experience, use a private car service. This allows you to enhance your trip with personalized excursions, such as the Britt Coffee Tour, to learn more about one of Costa Ricaâs major exports.
One unique stop Daytrip offers is the chance to volunteer with Proyecto Asis, a wildlife reserve a short distance from the Arenal Volcano. Volunteering at the reserve allows for meaningful interactions with the animals and a deeper connection to their mission. This stop is great for families and can turn your transfer into a memorable day trip.
About San Jose
San Jose is the capital of Costa Rica, a small Central American nation sandwiched between Nicaragua and Panama. Costa Rica has a population of 5 million, and nearly 2 million people reside in the San Jose metropolitan area. It is the largest city in the country and is located in the _Valle Central _region.
San Joseâs History
Initially, under Spanish colonial rule in the 1730s, San Jose emerged as a hub for tobacco trading. As global trade expanded, it grew into the nation's capital and a key center for coffee production. Today, San Jose is still Costa Ricaâs center for commerce, education, and medical care. Like many Costa Rican cities, it is named for an important person in Catholic tradition, Joseph of Nazareth.
Visiting San Jose
San Jose consistently ranks on lists of the safest capitals to visit in Latin America and has two of Costa Ricaâs international airports. Its central location makes it an ideal starting point for day trips across the country and a convenient gateway to coastal towns and resorts. The city center is laid out on a grid pattern for easy navigation, and you can learn about Costa Rican history and art at its many museums before your flight back home.
From La Fortuna to San Jose: travel tips
Don't risk missing your flight or getting on the wrong side of the law! As you prepare for your La Fortuna to San Jose transfer, keep this important law in mind:
Nature needs to remain in nature
While it is tempting to take a piece of Costa Rica home with you, it is illegal to remove sand, seashells, volcanic rock, regular rock, feathers, bones, or animals from the country. These items will be confiscated at the airport, so save yourself the hassle (and the potential of missing your flight!) by leaving nature where it belongs.
Taking these items harms the delicate ecosystem that makes Costa Rica such a special destination. They can also transmit diseases to other parts of the world. Remember the golden rule when interacting with nature: take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.
Instead of taking items from the shores and volcanos, support the local economy by purchasing handmade wooden crafts or a bag of Costa Rican coffee beans. Switching to these souvenirs will not only help keep Costa Ricaâs wildlife healthy, but youâll also be supporting Costa Rican entrepreneurs.
Use a reliable transportation company
Missing your flight is no joke! If you are heading to the San Jose airport, you need reliable transportation you can trust. Research the transit company online before booking your transfer and only choose highly rated services for the ultimate peace of mind.

Things to do when you get to San Jose
San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, is the country's largest city. Once youâve walked the streets full of shops and restaurants, a great way to escape the heat and sun is to take a museum tour. After your drive from La Fortuna to San Jose, make sure to visit these notable spots:
The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum
Costa Rica, known as "the rich coast," earned its name from the early European explorers who were struck by the abundance of gold-adorned indigenous people they encountered. They weren't mistakenâCosta Rica's land is rich in gold, and for over 1,500 years, locals have been creating intricate jewelry and statues.
The National Bank houses the underground Pre-Columbian Gold Museum and presents history from the indigenous perspective.
The Jade Museum
Costa Rica's lush greenery extends above ground and below the surface, too! Jade, a semi-precious green gemstone used for jewelry and figurines, is plentiful here. At the Jade Museum in San Jose, you can see the traditional jade handicrafts of Costa Rica and marvel at an extensive collection of ancient jade artifacts.
The National Museum of Costa Rica
The National Museum of Costa Rica has changed locations several times since its founding in 1887, but it is currently housed in the historic Bellavista Fortress. It features a butterfly garden, historical displays, and collections of indigenous art and archaeological finds. Exhibits detail Costa Rica's natural landscapes, colonial past, and journey to independence.
Parque Nacional (National Park)
This shaded urban park also offers a pleasant escape from the bustling and hot streets of San Jose. It's a great place to enjoy lunch, relax with a book, or let the kids expend some energy, all a short distance from your hotel.
When is the best time to visit San Jose
Costa Rica's dry season spans from December to April. This is the ideal window of time to enjoy San Jose's tropical climate without rain disrupting your plans. During the dry season, daytime highs are around 85°F (29°C), and the pleasantly warm evenings range from the mid-60s (15-19°C).
The rainy season is from May to November and presents challenges for visitors. The forecasts can change hourly due to high tropical winds, and you run the risk of a storm canceling your plans. However, the rainy season is when Costa Rica is at its most lush. If you choose to visit during the rainy season, have a flexible approach when making your schedule.

Varför folk Àlskar Daytrip
- 5 768 resenÀrer tog denna rutt med oss
âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â
Det bÀsta transportföretaget var som helst
âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
PrisvÀrd och sÀker transport
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
Daytrip gör en aldrig besviken
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
Fantastisk chaufför i Egypten
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
BekvÀma och sÀkra resor i Mexiko
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â
Ett fantastiskt sÀtt att resa och se sevÀrdheter lÀngs vÀgen
âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
Great site for booking transport, very easy
âReally great site, I highly recommend it if youâre looking for long transport. Youâre paying for convenience and being able to book on your own time, in advance and not have to wait for public transit. We booked 3 rides in Costa Rica: San Jose to La Fortuna, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio to San Jose. The communication before and during the trip was great, very easy process. Our driver for the first and last ride was Cesar Matamoros, he was great! He spoke English and Spanish and was very knowledgeable about the country. We learned a lot from him! Our other driver for the second trip was named Jason and he mainly spoke Spanish. We added a stop during the ride at a beautiful garden and he waited for us while we explored. And he added a bonus stop for us to the crocodile bridge!â
