Location:

San Gerardo de Dota

How to Get There:

San Gerardo de Dota, Cartago
From San José take the highway to Cartago. Just a few kilometers before reaching Cartago there is a sign: San Isidro and Paso Canoas. Here you must not follow the highway into the center but turn right. You are now on the Pan-American Highway, Route 2. After about 30 kilometers you reach the last gasoline station at El Empalme, another 30 kilometers and turn right at Kilometer 80 to San Gerardo de Dota. The altitude is 3.100 meters and you take the dirt road (partly asphalted) for 4 kilometers downhill until you see the lodges at your right hand site.
