On Dec 26th, the group will meet in the baggage claim area at 2pm and a complimentary shuttle will pick us up and we’ll head down south to Pavones (a beautiful 6 hour drive with stops as needed for meals and bathroom).
How can we get around once on site?
Pavones is a fairly small secluded, conscious community and everything is within walking distance. The beach is an easy 5min walk from the house. The local restaurants are 5min walk and the local river for relaxing is 3min away.
How far away is…?
Pavones, Costa Rica is bout a 6hour drive south west of San José on the Pacific Coast. With it's remote location, the village remains fairly undeveloped since being discovered by adventurous surfers in the 70's and it’s lush jungles are wildlife refuges, maintained and protected by the Costa Rican government. There are a handful of small, locally owned hotels, restaurants & bars, and friendly dogs roaming the nearby streets and beach. At sunrise and sunset, you can see (and hear) the adorable howler monkeys and their families. You'll see many wild iguanas and maybe even an armadillo at night. You'll instantly feel the laid-back vibe that has made Pavones a haven for surfers, adventure travelers and dedicated relaxation seekers.
What about cash & essentials?
USD cash are accepted everywhere and most places also accept major credit cards. Mastercard and Visa. NOTE: Amex is NOT accepted at most places in Costa Rica. Essentials are available from any of the local stores. All linens and towels will be provided. There's also local fruit, vegetable and coconut vendors around town every day. While they only take USD and Colones, their prices are much cheaper. We highly encourage shopping and supporting locals.
Is there WiFi?
Yes, there is complimentary Fiber optic WiFi available on our property as well as WiFi available at most local cafes and restaurants. Just ask and the locals will be happy to help.
