Heredia Getting There
Air:
The Juan Santamaria International Airport is located six miles west of downtown Heredia, in Alajuela. An official airport taxi stand is located just outside of the airport, and the orange taxis will take you downtown for approximately $15, depending on destination. On the main road, just a few steps from the airport exit, official red taxis are available – make sure to ask that they use the meter (la maria).
Two domestic airlines, Nature Air and SANSA also have airports close to town. SANSA is adjacent to the international terminal and Nature Air’s airport is located in Pavas, about a 30-minute drive from Heredia.
