Guatego San José Jacó recent customer reviews
Our experience was very disappointing. When we arrived at Terminal 7-10 in San José, the place was completely abandoned — no people, no open offices, and no buses. We checked another nearby terminal, but GuateGo did not exist there either. The scheduled bus to Jacó simply didn’t operate, and we had to find a different solution.
