The Puntarenas region
Puntarenas is the southernmost province of Costa Rica with a climate that is hot and humid. The dry season runs from December to April then the rains start again, they reach a peak in October and then start to fade.
In the rainy season (or green season), the rains normally occur for an hour or so in the afternoon and then the sun comes out again.
Pavones / Cuervito de Pavones area
The local bull fiestas at Conte and Naranjo are worth a visit as are the cabalgatas where locals show off their prowess on horseback.
Kite-surfing is at its best between December and April and the surf can be up at any time of the year although the rainy season is usually best.
Yoga classes in Pavones run all year round. Turtles nest on the local beach, visit our waterfall, swim in the rivers, take a boat trip or boogie board at Zancudo beach.
How to get there
International flights to San Jose (SJO) from the UK arrive via Mexico City (Air Mexicana), via Madrid (Iberia) or via various US cities (BA/AA, Continental etc).
Air Mexicana are offering good prices of less than £500. Expedia.co.uk are a good place to start when looking for flights.
Our rental houses at Finca Estrella are located on the south pacific coast of Costa Rica, an 8 hour drive from San Jose or a 45 minute flight followed by a 1 hour 20 minute drive.
If you are taking the scenic route and driving from San Jose then try www.renta4x4incostarica.com, www.mapache.com, www.4x4rentacar.com for rental cars, if you are flying then use either www.flysansa.com or www.natureair.com and fly to Golfito.
Solid car rental (www.solidcarrental.com - the Osa Peninsula section) are based near the airstrip in Hotel Samoa del Sur in Golfito.
After buying groceries and filling up with gas/petrol at Golfito head out of town (don't leave after 5pm as you don't want to do the drive in the dark) and follow signs for Conte/Pavones/Zancudo - the signs are hard to spot so keep your eyes peeled.
Once you are over the ferry (1000 colones or $2) the road isn't paved so drive carefully. Turn right at Conte (supermarket/internet/bar) then when the road splits, take the left hand fork to Pavones, after 5-10 minutes you'll see bright yellow Finca Estrella signs - follow these, turning right at the bus stop.
If you reach Escuela de Cuervito (Cuervito School) then you have gone too far. Finca Estrella, our property, starts 1.5km up that road. You'll see Casa del Sol (Sun House) on the left hand side first, followed by Casa Roja (Red House) then finally Casa Amarilla (Yellow House) on the right hand side. Casa Madera (Wooden House) isn't visible from the road, neither is the pool.
