This region of Costa Rica has conserved it natural wildlife and preserved the ecosystem of the Rainforest's. The primary Rain forest, Fauna and Flora are undamaged, thanks to the efforts of the government laws to protect and preserve the Magnificent natural resources.
The main Airport is located in San Jose, Costa Rica. Once in San Jose, you can reach Ojochal by 2 methods, vehicle or plane. You can fly from San Jose to Palmar Sur by Sansa Airlines.

You can rent a car from one of the many car rental companies located near by the San Jose Airport. They will be able to give directions to Ojochal. This is a beautiful 4 hour drive through the mountains (indicated on the map) or along the pacific coast. If you have never been in Costa Rica and experienced the roads. I would suggest the Shuttle service or fly Sansa. There are a couple Shuttle services that will pick you up at the San Jose Terminal and drive you right to O Rancho SoLuna in Ojochal.

My wife and I stayed for two weeks in this home and had a wonderful experience. We loved the privacy and the nature surrounding the place. Every day we were visited by a variety of birds, butterflies, and monkeys! It is amazing how nature can provide such entertainment! The forested mountain views from the back yard are beautiful and it is so much fun to swim in the pool under the rain. We will stay in this place again and we highly recommend it. Pura vida! YG and PG
