Puerto Jimenez

Puerto Jiménez airport has served the Osa Peninsula’s gateway community since the mid-20th century and operates from a single small terminal, handling light domestic aircraft on a compact airstrip. As the main entry point for Corcovado National Park and Golfo Dulce eco-tourism, it punches above its size in regional importance while remaining a low-key, convenient facility. Ground access is by coastal roads and boat transfers, with short domestic flights linking to San José and other Costa Rican hubs via carriers such as Sansa; it isn’t a major airline hub. Travelers find the airport budget-friendly overall, though short domestic flights can be pricier than bus travel.
