Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO)
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), located in Alajuela about 20 km northwest of San José, is Costa Rica’s primary and most convenient international airport for travellers. Although not the closest airport to Quepos, which lies approximately 153 km away (around 2.5 to 3.5 hours by road depending on traffic), SJO provides the best access point for international visitors.
Travellers can reach Quepos from SJO via domestic flights (around 30 minutes), private transfers, shared shuttle services, rental cars, or direct public buses operated by Tracopa.
