The Puerto Viejo to Uvita private transportation route crosses the country from the Caribbean region to the Pacific coast using Costa Rica’s main highway system.

The trip begins along Route 36, leaving Puerto Viejo and passing coastal communities such as Cahuita and Limón. From Limón, the journey connects to Route 32, the primary highway linking the Caribbean coast to the Central Valley.

Route 32 crosses the rainforest-covered mountains of Braulio Carrillo National Park, one of the most scenic drives in Costa Rica. The road winds through dense jungle and mountain valleys before descending into the San José metropolitan area.

From there, the transfer continues via Route 27, Costa Rica’s modern toll highway heading toward the Pacific coast. This road allows faster travel toward the coastal region before connecting with Route 34 (Costanera Sur).

The final portion of the trip follows the Pacific coastline south past Jacó, Quepos, and Dominical before arriving in Uvita, known for its beaches, whale-watching season, and access to Marino Ballena National Park.

Because this is a long cross-country journey, travelers often request short rest stops for meals, coffee, or scenic viewpoints during the trip.
