Monteverde, home of the famous Cloud Forest, lies about 4 hours from SJO Airport along a beautiful mountain route. Apa Tours takes you in a private vehicle straight to your hotel in Santa Elena or Monteverde, with no transfers or waiting.

The route

We take the Pan-American Highway toward the Pacific and then climb the Tilarán mountain range. The final kilometres are well-maintained gravel road, part of the charm of reaching this protected destination. On clear days there are views of the Gulf of Nicoya.

Private vs. shuttle

The private service avoids the long waits of a shared shuttle and lets you leave when your flight lands. It is the best option for arriving in daylight and making the most of the afternoon.

What to do in Monteverde

Hanging bridges, canopy ziplines, night wildlife tours and the Monteverde and Santa Elena reserves. We arrange your internal transfers and the onward connection to La Fortuna via the Lake Arenal route.
