Renting a car:
- For the adventurer at heart there is the option of renting a car (Alamo or Budget) and driving yourself to Santa Teresa! If you want we can help you coordinate with others joining on the retreat to share the costs, though this is a very affordable option.
Private Charter:
- There is also the possibility of hiring a private charter plane from San Jose to Tambor, where you will need to take a taxi (roughly $65 for up to 4 people). Though this is more expensive, it is a good option if you're looking for luxury and ease. Inquire for pricing.
