Discover the Allure of Flamingo, Costa Rica

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start by heading north on Route 34 (Costanera Sur) from locations like Dominical or Uvita. Continue on Route 34 until you reach the intersection with Route 21 near the town of Quepos. At that intersection, take Route 21 heading north towards Liberia. After approximately 50 km, look for signs for Route 155 towards Playa Flamingo. Follow Route 155 until it connects with Flamingo Beach Road. Your destination, Flamingo, will be on your right.

• Public Transportation

  For those relying on public transportation, take a bus from Dominical or Uvita to San José. From San José, you'll need to catch a bus to Liberia. Once in Liberia, look for a local bus service that goes to Playa Flamingo. Check the schedules as they may vary; typically, they run several times a day. The bus will drop you off close to Flamingo Beach Road. From there, it's a short walk to reach your destination.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi or using a rideshare app like Uber. From popular towns in the Southern Zone, such as Uvita or Dominical, simply input 'Playa Flamingo' as your destination. The drive will take approximately 3-4 hours depending on traffic. Be prepared for a fare of around $100-$150, which varies based on your starting point.

• Local Shuttle Services

  Several local shuttle services operate between major tourist locations and Playa Flamingo. Check with your hotel or local tourism offices for shuttle schedules and availability. Prices generally range from $30 to $50 per person, depending on your pick-up location. It's a convenient option if you want to avoid the hassle of public buses.
