Directions

Coming to the Toucan? We are in central Uvita. Take the paved road directly across the highway from the restaurant Soda Naranjito (heading east) & go 100 meters. The Tucan Hotel will be on your right. We are across from the restaurant Soda Salem. See the directions below:

From San José -
From San José take the Interamerican Highway south to San Isidro de El General, then the road southwest to Dominical, then the coast road south to Uvita.

By Bus - The best route is the Musoc bus to San Isidro. The Musoc terminal is at Ave 20 y Calle Central. There is a bus every hour from 5:30 AM til 5:30 PM. It takes about 3 hrs and the cost is about $3. If you leave after 12:30 you will not be able to connect with the Uvita bus and will have to stay the night in San Isidro or take a taxi (about $25). In San Isidro walk 3 blocks south to the Uvita bus terminal. Ask anyone for directions. The bus to Uvita leaves at 9 AM and 4 PM and takes 2 hours. The cost is 665 colones or about $1.50. Uvita is not quite an hour after Dominical and you get off the bus just after the Gas Station.


From Quepos (Manuel Antonio) -
From Quepos or Manuel Antonio, just take the coast road south past Dominical and into Uvita. The road is unpaved and in bad condition - expect an adventure.

By Bus - You can take the San Isidro bus to Dominical and change to the Uvita bus. The San Isidro bus leaves Quepos at 5 AM and 1:30 PM, takes about 2 hrs and costs about $1.50. The Uvita bus leaves Dominical at 10 AM and 5 PM takes about 1 hr and costs about $0.75. You can also take the Uvita bus from Quepos. Check at the terminal for times. There are 2 buses: one at about 11:00 AM and the other at about 6:30 PM. It takes about 3 hrs and costs about $1.50.


From Panama -
Take the Interamerican Highway north to San Isidro de El General, then the road southwest to Dominical, then the coast road south to Uvita.

By Bus - From the border take a Tracopa bus to Palmar Norte or take a border (Frontera) bus to Ciudad Neily and then change to a bus to Palmar Norte. From Palmar Norte take a bus to Cortes. Depending on the bus you took you might have to walk a couple of blocks to the center of Palmar Norte to get the bus to Cortes. From Cortes take the bus to Uvita. Check with the bus drivers for times. There are only 2 or 3 buses a day from Cortes.


From Puerto Jimenez (Corcovado) -
From Puerto Jiménez or the Osa Peninsula, first head north to the Interamerican Highway. Take the highway north to San Isidro de El General, then the road southwest to Dominical, then the coast road south to Uvita.

By Bus - Take the bus to Palmar Norte. From Palmar Norte take the bus to Cortes. From Cortes take the bus to Uvita. (see Panama directions)


From the Caribbean -
You can go back to San José and follow the San José directions or you can go to Panama crossing the border at Sixaola and going on to Changanola. From there you take a bus over the mountains to David and then another bus to the border at Paso Canoas. (see Panama directions)
