Sotavento Plantanal
is located at the end of the farthest south beach road in Costa
Rica. The preferred form of access is by personal 4-wheel
drive conveyance, and persons interested in staying with us may
want to consider renting a vehicle in San Jose or Golfito to maximize
your mobility. You won't want to walk up the steep driveway
from the beach to the lodge unless you are in excellent shape.
A four-wheel drive vehicle is required to negotiate the steep, concrete
driveway. A bus comes in and out of Punta Banco everyday from
Golfito, which is connected to the rest of Costa Rica by daily flights
to San Jose by Sansa and Travelair as well as by daily bus routes.
Pavones is readily accessible by boat for visitors that boat across
from Puerto Jiménez or Matapalo. Roads converge on the Pavones
area from both Golfito and from Paso Canoas. The roads come
together at the small town of Conte. Whichever way you are
coming, be sure to take the road south at the Conte juncture, follow
the signs to Pavones, and continue south to Punta Banco. Look
for the Sotavento sign and the left-hand entrance. |
