Getting to the farm

PLEASE PRINT THIS PAGE AND BRING IT WITH YOU:)

We have many options for getting to the finca.

Arriving at the San Jose Airport seems a bit overwhelming. Just relax and flow until you get the the exit area. If you are taking a cab right from the terminal. Buy your ticket from the window to the left as you are about to exit from the airport. They will not rip you off like the cabs outside. May have paid three times what they should. Please stay in close touch with me via email before you are coming. Joshuapeaceseeker@gmail.com

The cab ride to Alejuela central should only be around $6.00. Have them drop you off at the buss terminal that goes to San Jose. Once you arrive in San Jose you will need another cab to the Puriscal Terminal. Only about $2.00. The Puriscal bus terminal has a bus departing every 30 minutes. It should take only an hour or so to get to Puriscal by bus.

If we have planned it and it is possible that day I can be in Puriscal to meet you. Although this is not always possible. Our cell phone number is 8363.0142. Call me when you are getting on your way from San Jose. Our phone only works when we are in town so do not count on this unless you have made plans with me already.

The busses leave from the block that the hardware store Macho Cruz is on. Puriscal to San Martin (the bar caballo blanco at the turn off to our farm) runs many times a day. Twice a day another bus runs to Salitrales only. Which is about 5 minutes drive from San Martin. Salitrales has two little bars and not much else is where we would be meeting.

You can get a cab from Puriscal to our farm for around $40.00. there is a big row of taxis along the main central park. You need to tell them you are going to Lanas. Our road is off of the road that goes to La Cangreja and on to Parrita. Lanas is 14 KM from San Martin (the bar caballon blanco take a right). The caballo Blanco is about 5 minutes passed Salitrales on the right. My favorite cab drivers are Papo or Daniel. I can talk to them and tell them you are coming in a few days before and they can help you.

OR

Ellioth can pick you up. In which case you need to be in touch with both of us. Often! And right before you leave the states so we know you are on the right flights. elliothvasquez@hotmail.com 8980.7679

Please pay Ellioth directly for helping you out and talk to him in your email about what you want to do when you arrive. If you arrive later in the day or in the evening you probably need to stay the night in Alejuela. Ellioth has many different hotel options to meet your budget.

OR

I can set up a small bus to pick you up from the airport and deliver you to the farm. Probably around $125.00 very easy and secure. Costs more in the wet season. It is always best to communicate with me a bunch before you travel and I will try to be in Puriscal for you.
