3-Day Botanika Osa Rainforest Experience

Passengers must arrive at the domestic terminal at Juan Santamaría International Airport. The airline operating the flight is Sansa. Please note that the transfer from San José hotels to the domestic terminal is not included, therefore passengers must make their own way to the terminal.

Passengers must be at the terminal one hour prior to departure for check-in.

We will inform Botanika Hotel of the arrival time, and the hotel staff will be waiting for the passengers on the airstrip with a sign displaying their name.

The transfer takes approximately 3 mins, as the hotel is located very close to the domestic terminal in Puerto Jiménez.

At departure the hotel will transfer the passengers to the Puerto Jiménez airstrip one hour before the flight, and our services will conclude upon arrival in San José.
