(You can also find us on Waze.)
Travel times in Costa Rica are often longer than expected due to curves and terrain — plan extra time.
A 4x4 is not required, but we recommend a car with good clearance.
The road up to Monteverde is steep and winding — take it slow, especially if you’re driving at night.
We have safe on-site parking at the finca.

📍 Directions Overview
From Highway 1 (Pan-American), take the turn-off toward Route 606 – Santa Elena / Monteverde.
Drive uphill through Sardinal and Guacimal as the road winds into the mountains.
Continue through the towns of Santa Elena and Monteverde.
At the sign for San Luis, turn right and follow the road for about 2 km.
The last kilometer is a steep downhill cement road.
When the cement ends, you’ll see a large open gate directly ahead — that’s us!
Drive through, pass the house on your right, follow the driveway left to the open parking area — you’ve arrived!

Arrival Tips
Keep your phone charged and share your estimated arrival time.
Bring a light jacket — mountain air cools quickly in the evening.
We recommend downloading your route offline before leaving Wi-Fi zones, as cell signal can be patchy.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the finca.
Drive safely and enjoy the journey — the road through the mountains is part of the magic 🌄
If you’re arriving after dark, take your time — the mountain roads can feel unfamiliar.
Don’t worry if things seem remote or the GPS feels off — you’re on the right path.
We’re always happy to guide you via message if you need help finding the gate.
