The direct bus to Montezuma departs from the Coca-Cola Bus-Station in San José City, every day at six in the morning, and at two in the afternoon. Be there at least half an hour before depature. You buy the ticket from the driver, there's no other option! The bus will bring you directly (Bus - Ferry - Bus) to Cóbano, where you have to get out and change to a smaller bus. (ask for Montezuma). All transportation (the two buses and ferry) will come to approx 6300 colones.
You will either arrive at midday or eight in the evening, depending on which bus you took.
The buses fom Montezuma to Cabo Blanco depart at around two and four, from he bus-stop where you arrived to Montezuma, and will cost you approx. 600 Colónes.
There's no evening bus but Taxis are always available (approx.6000 Colónes).
Keep in mind that prices and timetables might have changed!
At most of the tourist destinations you can also get shuttle buses or boats to Montezuma, but you will have to spend between 25$ and 50$ on this!
