*Please note that in Costa Rica there are two Puerto Viejos. One is Puerto
Viejo de Talamanca in the province of Limon on the Caribbean Coast. The other
is Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui (PVS) located in the province of Heredia. The
lodge is actually located in Chilamate which is about 5km from PVS. When buying
your bus ticket be sure to go to the ticket window for PVS. Once you arrive in
PVS you can take another public bus to Chilamate. The local bus terminal is
located just across the street from where the San Jose bus unloads passengers.
You can check the bus schedule for Chilamate and buy your ticket there. Another
option is to take a taxi to Chilamate (ask the driver to take you to Selva Verde), which costs about $5.00. Taxis can be
found at the bus stop where you will be dropped off.

Taxi Service
1.5 hour ride (credit card or cash only). Make sure you negotiate a price
before you depart. Official taxis (red or orange in color) have a yellow
triangle with their registration tag number on the door and a photo ID of the
driver inside the cab, usually on the sun visor. Avoid piratas (pirates), or
unregulated cabs that do not have these markings.
Rental Cars
If you crave independence and adventure there are many rental car companies in
Costa Rica ready to serve you. Don't expect a bargain - you will find the rates
to be comparable or higher to rates found in the U.S. Inspect the car you are
assigned carefully before you sign any papers - especially the tires - for any
damage that you could be held responsible for. You must have a drivers license,
passport and credit card to rent. The deposit is $1,000+ and can be covered by
credit card.
Driving
Directions from San José
There are two ways to get to Selva Verde from San José, both of which take
approximately 2 hours. Enjoy great natural beauty along each route.
Route #1: On this route pass by La Paz Waterfall Gardens and the
entrance to Poás Volcano National Park. Start at the International Airport and
travel north on Highway 125 until you reach Route 9. Continue north on Route 9
in the direction of San Miguel and Puerto Viejo. Approximately 20 miles from
San Miguel you will see Selva Verde Lodge on the right side of the road.
Route #2: The alternative route takes you past the Rainforest Aerial
Tram in Braulio Carillo National Park and the Organization for Tropical Studies
La Selva Biological Field Station. From the International Airport, travel north
on Highway 125 until you reach Route 9. Travel south on Route 9 to Route 32,
which curves to the northeast. Approximately 8 miles past the Rainforest Aerial
Tram, turn left on Route 4. You will travel north on Route 4 until you reach
the town of Puerto Viejo. At the stop sign, turn left on Route 9 and travel 5
miles west until you encounter Selva Verde Lodge on the left side of the road.
Driving Directions from Arenal
The route from Arenal to Selva Verde takes approximately 2 hours and passes
through several quaint villages along the way. Driving east from Arenal, turn
left at El Tanque then take the turnoff to Muelle on Route 4. Follow road signs
to Aguas Zarcas and turn right at each turn. When you reach Aguas Zarcas, turn
left to San Miguel and left again to La Virgen, Chilamate, and Puerto Viejo.
You will find Selva Verde Lodge on the right side of the road.
Driving Tips
Driving in Costa Rica is an excellent way to see the countryside but can also
be a dangerous experience. If you decide not to use the services of a
professional driver, consider following these safety tips:
- Tener cuidado con los hábitos agresivos al conducir de los habitantes de Costa Rica.
- Los caminos principales son buenos y conectan a los principales pueblos.
- Los caminos más pequeños se encuentran en condiciones de regulares a malas y pueden requerir el uso de vehículos 4*4.
- Los caminos no tienen muchas indicaciones por lo que es útil reconocer otras señales durante su ruta.
- Agregue tiempo adicional a su horario en caso de retrasos por el tráfico.
- Nunca deje nada en su vehículo
- No conduzca de noche cuando es difícil ver las salidas y baches.
- Si conduce en la playa aléjese del área en donde se marca la marea y de los arboles ya que es en donde las Tortugas hacen sus nidos.
- Si encuentra palos o ramas amontonados en el camino, baje su velocidad ya que esta es la versión tica de una llanta pinchada e indica que hay peligro más adelante.
- Costa Rica respeta estrictamente el uso del cinturón de seguridad por lo que debe usarlo siempre no sólo por seguridad sino para evitar multas.
