By Car
From San Jose drive to Puntarenas (About 2 hours drive). In Puntarenas take the ferry to Paquera (1.5 hours on the ferry). The cost for the ferry per car is about $10 and $2 per person. From Paquera take the road towards playa Tambor, from Tambor follow the signs to Cobano and from Cobano to Santa Teresa and Mal Pais (It is about 1 hour from Paquera to Cobano and another 30 minutes from Cobano to Mal Pais). Up to Cobano the road is paved and the last 7 Kilometers (4.3 miles) are gravel road. Turn left on the crossroad just before the beach and follow the road towards the Blue Jay Lodge Sign
Our Personal Comment
The Mal Pais area is in general very beautiful and recommended for travelers looking to go a bit off the beaten track. Around This Hotel
