Probably the best airport for spotting in Central America. Quite heavy traffic, a wide variety of airlines and convenient photo spots make SJO a favorite. Of the spots, the best is the road near the DHL warehouses opposite the terminals. It is good to watch both takeoffs and landings. In the terminal you can also shoot through the large windows in the departure hall.
