The family's farm

Gary and Catalina have owned this hillside for ten years, and they farm it: fruit trees, vegetables and animals on the land around the bungalow.

Solar panels carry most of the power, with the grid as a backup, and the water comes from the family's own well.

Getting there

From the mainland, the car ferry crosses from Puntarenas to Paquera and the road runs on to Tambor. Without a car, a water taxi crosses from Jacó to Montezuma, and the rest is by road.

The last stretch climbs the hill: a 4x4 is best, or park 250 metres below and walk up. Questions about the trip? Ask the concierge team.
