Where to Start...

Costa Ricas' Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) is located in Alajuela not in San Jose as one might assume.  Alajuela is the country's second largest city.  It safe, clean, has a variety of tourist conveniences and a lot of Tico charm. With the city's proximity to the airport and on the road to many of the country's popular attractions, Alajuela is ideal for starting and ending your vacation. 

A Safe Passage is based in Alajuela. Beyond fulfilling your transportation needs we offer HomeBase packages in which we pick you up when you arrive, prearrange your first and last nights' lodging, help get you orientated then get you on the road the next morning for your adventure.

Then the day before your are due to depart you stay at the same hotel or bed and breakfast in Alajuela then we take you to the airport the next day.

A Safe Passage can take the hassles out of going into San Jose to start your journey.
