Nature Air Frequently Asked Questions
"At
San Jose we hopped directly on a NatureAir flight and flew
down from the top of the Andes along the pacific coast and
into Puerto Jiminez. What a beautiful flight. Once you clear
San Jose all you see is mountain and rain forest all the way
to the deep blue waters of the pacific. The flight ends with
a classic landing onto a airstrip cut out of the rain forest
... there were even chickens on the runway!"
