Costa Rica: how to get from San Jose to Quepos?

We plan to go in March, 2008 and want to see both areas: San Jose and surroundings and also the National Park at Quepos. How does one get from San Jose to Quepos?
Thanks

Getting to Quepos from San Jose

Check out Fantasy Bus at this website: http://www.graylinecostarica.com/graylinetouristbus.html#sanjose

They charge about $27 to take you from SJ to Manuel Antonio but that includes Quepos, which is about 7 miles before MA.

Renting a car can give you greater flexibility, although many people take public transportation from San Jose to Quepos and then rent a car in Quepos when they get there.

There are also frequent flights from SJ to Quepos but the luggage limits are severe. The cost is about $60 one way.

Finally you can take an express bus that runs regularly (about 4 times a day) from the Coca Cola bus station in San Jose to Quepos that costs $6 (no this is not a typo).

The trip takes between 3 and 4 hours by road, 20 minutes by air.

Great information! Thanks
