I am often asked how to get to Puerto.

It is very easy.

First, do not rely on Google Maps.

It has you going into Costa Rica to get from David to Puerto.

Do not do that.

 

Simplest Directions To Puerto

1. Drive to Paso Canoas (It’s on the Costa Rica border)

2. Turn left (south) at border

3. Arrive in Puerto Armuelles (The road ends in Puerto & at Pacific Ocean)

Detailed Instructions

I wrote a page with detailed instructions on how to get to Puerto Armuelles.

It includes what to expect at the police check points along the way.
There is a bit on buses and taxis as well.

The road to Puerto Armuelles from the border is being expanded from a 2 to a 4 lane highway.
It’s almost completely finished.
