Getting here
From San José, it's a scenic three-and-a-half-hour drive south on Route 34, the Costanera Sur. The turn inland toward Platanillo is well marked — the same road that leads to Nauyaca Falls. The main roads are paved and accessible; we'll send detailed directions and arrange transfers if you'd like.
