Other things to note
Traveling to the less developed Southern region of Costa Rica is for the more adventurous traveler. The closer you get to Toucan Valley though, you will start to experience a more tranquil existence away from the Hustle and bustle of humanity.
Turning off the main Highway (Route 34, also called the Costanera), you will need to drive up a 7km dirt road to get to your Villa. The drive is beautiful with dramatic scenery along the way, but the steep areas and bumps can be a bit intimidating your first time up, especially in the rainy season.
A 4x4 vehicle is required all year round, to reach the Village and your Villa!
We are a remote Village, 35 minutes away from any supermarkets, restaurants or stores.
A small local restaurant close by to Toucan Valley, is open in the high season (December-April) which provides, reservation only, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Including a take out option.
Before you head up the mountain make sure you bring food and supplies with you and make use of the full kitchen in your villa.
Once you arrive, enjoy the green wall of nature that will surround you and the symphony of the Rainforest.
