Mark- you are right that it could take 3 hours to get there via shuttle or bus, but the flight is going to take just about the same amount of time. If you go Sansaits 30-45 minutes to SJO and Nature is 20 minutes or so from the gulch to Quepos airport Next, wait 30-45 minutes to leave, around a 30 minute flight, and then an hour drive to Jaco. I've been delayed on those flights for an hour before too which can make it even longer. If you have decent- sized luggage it also costs more. Jaco via shuttle= about $60 RT. Jaco via taxis and RT flight = at best around $200 RT.
