Central Pacific

From San Jose or Juan Santamaria Airport, take the road to Ciudad Colon. Once you're in Ciudad Colon, look out for sign saying "no hay paso" that means you're going on to a one way street. Instead turn right at the gas station and left at the next street. Continue on, and follow the signs for Santiago de Puriscal and for Turubares. When you get to Puriscal, (aabout 20 min.) take the road leading to San Pablo de Turubares. The hotel is located 19 kilometers after you exit Puriscal on the main road, on your right hand side, two kilometers before you reach San Pablo de Turubares. Follow signs to TURUBARI Park. It is easy to find and the road is paved the entire way - simply look for the long bamboo fence and wooden gate. If the gate is closed, just honk and the guard will open the gate. From the Pacific Coast or North - look in your map for a city called Orotina, west of San Jose. From Orotina, ignore signs for "Jaco" and take the road straight, leading to San Pablo de Turubares (known simply as "San Pablo" or "Turubares"). You can also follow signs to "Turubari" which is a park on the way to the hotel. About five minutes from Orotina, on the road to Turubares, you will cross a suspended bridge (don't worry, the bridge is safe). Continue on that road for about 25 to 30 minutes, past Turubari Park until you come to a T intersection. See our sign, and TURN LEFT there. Go 5KM to San Pablo, follow another sign and TURN RIGHT. Go 2KM more and see the hotel on your left hand side. It is easy to find - simply look for the long bamboo and living tree fence and wooden gate. If the gate is closed simply honk, and the guard will open the gate. On your way from Orotina, always stay on the main road, and when in doubt, look for small signs for "Turubari" or the hotel. Either way, when you pass Turubari Park you are about 15 minutes from the hotel. Drive safely!
