Mikado Natural Lodge can be reached from either of Costa Rica's two international airports. The nearest airport is Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, located approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes from the lodge. Guests arriving at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José can reach the lodge in approximately 4.5 to 5 hours by car. Private shuttle services can be arranged from either airport directly to the lodge for guests who prefer not to drive. However, we highly recommend renting a vehicle to fully enjoy the region and explore the beautiful beaches, restaurants, and attractions nearby.
