Situated in the north of the Osa Peninsula in the southern part of the Puntarenas province, Puerto Jimenez is a key town lying just before the northern entrance of the Corcovado National Park. Most often used as a base camp for tourists who wish to explore the peninsula and park premises, Puerto Jimenez is a great place with comfortable accommodations and excellent tour and adventure facilities.
To get to Puerto Jimenez, flying here is your best option as it takes roughly 8 to 9 hours to get here by road from San Jose. Both SANSA and Nature Air offer regular commercial flights to Puerto Jimenez, with an airline charter service Aero Taxi Alfa Romeo also providing private flights from here to any domestic airport in the country.
