How to get there

The access to the property requires a 4x4 vehicle for the last 6 km (3.7 miles), which is a gravel road. The farm is located in Bajo Bonitas, Platanares, Pérez Zeledón.

The neighborhood

The neighborhood is a close-knit rural community. You can choose to interact with the community by participating in activities undertaken by the community. We will coordinate with guests, upon request. Otherwise the property is situated on a private piece of land, and you will likely not interact with anybody aside from the farmhand and his family: wife and children 9 and 10, if you are willing to, and other guests.

There is a pulpería (very small convenience store) just 1 km from the farm, and here you have a chance to interact with locals, if you are interested. People are very friendly.

Getting around 

At the moment, due to the COVID-19 situation, there is public transportation to-from San Isidro del General to Bajo Bonitas on mondays and fridays. And on the other days, to-from San Isidro del General to Villa Argentina, a town 3 km (1.86 miles) from the farm.
