Important Information
Transportation Start to Finish
Getting to the heart of your retreat experience can be smooth and enjoyable with the right preparation. Tierra de Suenos is a 5-hour scenic drive from San Jose Airport (SJO), and we’ve got tips to make your journey comfortable.
If you're driving, you'll enjoy interesting views along the way, with a stop for an optional meal to break up the trip. We recommend bringing a good book, snacks, water, and settling in for the ride.
If a long car ride isn't your style, you can opt for a quick national flight from San Jose to Limon with Sansa Air http://flysansa.com/en/home These flights are usually around $100, and from Limon, it's just a one-hour shuttle ride (around $25) to Tierra de Suenos. Taxis are also available, though they are more costly.
Shuttle Services:
We can help organize group shuttles for a smooth transfer, which typically takes 4.5 to 5 hours, including a stop for an optional meal. Though you'll be responsible for your own transportation, we're happy to assist with booking shuttles and recommending flights.
Arrival Time:
Please ensure your flight arrives at SJO by 12 pm or earlier on the day your retreat begins. This will allow you to arrive at Tierra de Suenos in time for dinner, which kicks off the retreat. Retreats begin with dinner on the first day and conclude after breakfast on the last day.
