Drive from the San Jose Airport to Puntarenas (approx. 2 hrs.) then board the car ferry to Paquera (approx. 1hr. 15 mins.). Once in Paquera approx. 1-1/2hrs. to Mal Pais on a good to fair road with signs.

For the adventurous & budget traveler take the bus. Very reasonable but a bit of a hassle. Direct bus service from main bus station in San Jose to Puntarenas leaves every hour. Then board ferry to Paquera. Once in Paquera take other bus to Cobano once in Cobano board local bus to Mal Pais. Best to depart San Jose at 8a.m. to make other connections. Fly Sansa or Nature Air. Fly direct from S.J. to Tambor then taxi ride to Mal Pais. Make reservations on SANSA prior to arrival.
