DIRECTIONS•LOCATION:
Santa Ana
COMING
FROM SAN JOSE/ESCAZU - heading WEST:
Take
the Caldera Highway (aka - AutoPista del Sol • Route 27)
(note
there are NO signs/warning of the pending exit [ahhh – life in Costa
Rica!!).
The
exit just blends into the road – passing Urbaniacion Hacienda del Sol. Keep going forward - winding around - about
200 meters - and you basically run right
into it in front of the guard station at Urbanizacion Rio Oro.
EXITING
– This is a bit trick! Keep heading on
that road that you were and follow the signs that say “Plaza Obelisco and Rio
Oro” - turn Left at the first street.
Turn Left at the 2nd street. Go
through the little yellow tunnel and at Plaza Obelisco you'll run into the
entrance to the Pista heading East towards San Jose.
COMING
FROM CUIDAD COLON - heading EAST:
Take
the Caldera Highway (aka - AutoPista del Sol • Route 27)
PASS
Plaza Obelisqo.
Take
the next exit (no signs) and turn LEFT.
Go
under the overpass/highway and turn LEFT but do NOT go back onto the highway
(go towards Urbanizacio Rio Oro).
They're
200 meters in front of the guard station at Urbanizacion Rio Oro.
