I was up early and caught the 6am collectivo to carate, the gateway to corcovado if you are approaching from the south. Carate is really just a restaurant that also have a few basic food items you can buy. If you are camping or staying at the La Leona Park Station (reservations required) it a 3.5km walk from there to carate.

The collectivo is a small pickup truck with benches in the back covered by a tarp-covered frame. It’s very basic transport for your $7 one way ticket. It takes about 2 hours from PJ to carate. Here is a pic of the collectivos ☺.
