Arrival

There are buses leaving from downtown San Jose regularly that will bring you very close to the site. The service is called Colectivo, and it departs from the TRACOPA bus station. These buses leave from TRACOPA bus terminal in downtown San Jose. Check the TRACOPA website for the most updated departure times. You must purchase a ticket at the station all the way to Uvita (but can get off anywhere.) The bus stops briefly at Orotina and Quepos before arriving at Uvita. After the bus stops briefly in Quepos, the ride to site is about an hour and a half. The bus will stop at the site if you ask to stop at Playa Hermosa Bus Stop/Envision Festival. However, don’t trust the driver to remember - be sure to ask!  Keep your eyes out for signage on the right-hand side, it will be ½ kilometer from the Playa Hermosa Beach. If you end up at the TRACOPA bus station in Uvita, taxis are easily available and accessible at the BM (grocery store) across the street from the bus station. A taxi ride to site will cost you approx $2 USD (C1200).

Please be aware: Traffic from SJO to Envision can be bad, sometimes taking 4-8 hours to get to site. If you plan on taking public transportation, plan to start your journey before 2pm to ensure you arrive to site before 9pm. Our 9pm close is a hard close and we cannot make exceptions for late arrivals. If you cannot start your travel to site before 2pm, please plan to arrive a day earlier, and stay the night in SJO at a hostel/airbnb -- then take an early bus in the morning. Anticipate your public transportation taking longer than usual, especially with Envision traffic. We reccomend taking a red eye so as to fly into SJO early in the morning -- this gives you plenty of time to catch a staff shuttle or public bus!
