Description
C5,000 for our truck (6t, Iveco Daily 4x4) to cross the river. Might be cheaper for smaller vehicles. Bit pricey but worth it to cut the corner between Penisula Osa and Uvita. Route from south of the river across to the main Golfo Dulce road is a lovely drive with great views down along the coast, but it's a dirt road, needing high-clearance and ideally 4x4, even in the dry season.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Ferry was running, you honk to call it from the Oso side (it docks on the Sierpe side) It was 2000 colones per moto, and is one of those wild travel experiences that make you feel like you’re on a proper adventure
Report Check-InCar ferry not running 15/12/22. Locals not positive about it restarting! Drive back round the long way having come from Bahia Drake.
Report Check-InFerry still working, payed 7000 for our truck camper. You have to drive in reverse to get onto the boat. Road after this was muddy, slippery and steep in some parts, definitely need 4x4 if it's not dry.

Report Check-InLooks like it's C5000 for all the vehicles, that's what we paid as well for our SUV, price includes all the passengers in the car. Pedestrians pay C500. Going this way is about 40km shorter than going around.
