A private charter from San José to Tambor (TMU) is $1,430 for the whole aircraft, which seats up to 5–12 passengers. Split between five travellers that’s about $286 each — the same as a scheduled Sansa fare, and sometimes less.
About 30 minutes in the air, direct. Compared with the 5 hour plus ferry drive it saves most of a travel day, and you depart from a private terminal at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) minutes before takeoff.
Our aircraft — typically a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan — carry up to 12 passengers. You charter the whole plane and split the cost across your group, so the more seats you fill, the lower the price per person.
