| San Ramon, Alajuela |
| How to get there: |
| Located just over an hour from the city of San Jose, the hotel is conveniently situated half-way between the capital and La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano. Take the Pan American Highway North past the town of Palmares, exiting at San Ramon, and then follow the road straight across town behind the Cathedral until you cannot go any further. Make a left turn and then make an immediate right (at the corner of the Hospital). Follow that road for about 7 blocks (700 meters) until you reach a green church with Angels. At the church merge left, and you will start to cross over scenic countryside. From then on, the road is clearly marked with Villablanca signs. At the double speed bumps for the Rural Guard station of Los Angeles Norte, turn right onto a smaller paved road for the last 9 km, merging left at the only fork in the road, to the Villablanca parking area. The last portion is a truly serene, however drive carefully and pay attention to cattle crossings and narrow blind curves. (Max. speed limit is 40 KPH). |
