DRIVING DIRECTIONS
SAN JOSE to OSA
Take the San José–Caldera Highway (CR27) to the first exit past the Pozón toll booth, and pick up the Southern Highway, or Costanera Sur (CR34). Take this south through Jacó, Quepos, and Dominical to Palmar Norte, where you’ll meet up with the Inter American Highway (CR2). Take this south to the turnoff for La Palma, Rincón, and Puerto Jiménez.
DRIVING to DOS BRAZOS
Once you have taken the turnoff for La Palma, Rincón, and Puerto Jimenez (Rt 245), stay on Rt 245 for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Take the last right-hand turn before the bridge marked for “Rio Tigre”. If you have crossed the bridge you have gone too far and will continue on into Puerto Jimenez. After turning off of Rt 245, follow the dirt road for approximately 3 km through the town of Gallardo. On your left-hand side will be the town soccer field with a sign for “Boca Gallardo”. After this sign, take your second left (there will be a number of small signs for Dos Brazos, Corcovado, and other local businesses at the turn entrance). Follow this road for approximately 5km. Cross the main bridge into town and at the fork, turn left and follow the road for approximately 50 meters. The Office of Tourism will be located on the right.
Trip Duration: Approximately 6 hours
*Note: We recommend driving during the day as the main road down the Osa Peninsula is windy with limited lighting.
