The Montes de Oro area is a canton in the Puntarenas Province just NW of Esparza. Its principal town is Miramar which is located just a few kms off of the PAH (the Cuatros Cruces exit is the next major crossroad after the turnoff for Puntarenas). There are buses leaving SJ (from Calle 12 betw. Ave. 7 y 9) at 7AM, 8AM, noon, 4:30PM and 5:40PM which take 2.5 hrs to get there and costs 1840colones. From the looks of things on the satelite map, Miramar/Finca Las Delicias seems to have at least 30-40 city blocks, so I wouldn't expect EVERYone to be out on the streets to greet you. Maybe just the stray dogs.
