Driving directions from San Jose, Liberia and Tamarindo:
From San Jose (Use these great maps of Costa Rica)
From the airport get on the Pan American Highway (Hwy 1) north for approximately 2 hours toward Liberia/Penas Blancas (follow the road signs). You can follow signs for Tamarindo starting almost right away. Just after passing Matapalo (may or may not be apparent), turn left toward the Tempisque Bridge (also called Puente Amistad de Taiwan) – be watching for the sign.
Once you cross the bridge, you continue going straight until you come to a “T” intersection, at which you turn right, toward Nicoya and Tamarindo. Now heading north, continue until Belen, where you turn left toward Tamarindo and Playa Grande.
After about 20 minutes, you will go over a steep hill and come to a cross-roads town called Huacas. The signs will say to turn left to go to Tamarindo, but you will continue straight for another 5-8 minutes until you reach a small town with a soccer field called Matapalo (different town, same name as the one before).
Following the signs to Playa Grande, you will turn left immediately after passing the soccer field. Follow this road into Playa Grande.
When you arrive in Playa Grande follow the signs towards RipJack Inn. You will come to a stop sign in front of the Turtle Office. At the stop sign turn left and we are about 100 m down the road on the left.
