  Waiting for the bus at Gran Caribe Station

There are many long distance bus terminals scattered around downtown San Jose. It is a good idea to have a San Jose map with you and know exactly which terminal to take the bus. You can get a map from the tourist info booth at the airport or downtown (beneath Plaza de la Cultura and in the Post Office Building on Calle 2 between Ave 1 and 3).

Try to get a direct (directo) bus and a window seat. There is no air conditioning in the bus. Get to the bus terminal 30 min before, if you don't have a reservation. It's not necessary to make one unless it is a busy route. The long distance bus always make a 10-min washroom stop before the final destination. The bus fare is very affordable in compare to tourist buses.
