Getting It Together
SJO
There are two international airports serving Costa Rica. Juan Santa Maria (SJO) and Liberia (LIB). I love visiting Costa Rica but I hate San Jose. The City has horribly congested traffic and if you arrive at SJO you will get to explore the crowded and polluted streets (and air) of the city. SJO airport is modern, comfortable and filled with shops and cafes and the air-conditioning (in the ALWAYS being renovated and expanding airport) is a H U G E improvement over the last decade. The last I heard they are still seeking facility management. Liberia… it is in the North were you usually want to visit: beaches, jungle canopy zip lines, eco tours and most of the great visits and activities. Fly to LIB… it is closer to where you want to be and what you want to do. I hope I was not unclear.
SJO
The airport is still under renovation. What is done so far is not bad, compared with how it was. Be prepared to pay airport tax when you leave. Souvenir shops as usual, plenty and expensive. Transport by bus to San Jose City is possible, but to other areas as Puntarenas, Liberia, etc. is not available by bus. One has to go to the city (20 km opposite) first.
The airport seemed modern and efficient on arrival. The best-staffed and quickest Immigration lines I’ve ever seen at an international airport. The only disappointment was the continued construction as you exit the terminal and the poor traffic planning and control.
