DIRECTIONS TO FINCA SARAMANDAIA
FROM THE AIRPORT:
To go to Ciudad Colon you need to drive down the small road along that east
end of the airport. The road turns to the right and then follows the south
side of the airport. Take the first left and follow this narrow road on
down around curves and then across a bridge and uphill and then past several
restaurants on both sides of the road and then around a big curve to the
left at the entrance to a swimming and recreation area called Ojo de Agua on
your right. Keep on this road until you come to a Tee intersection where
you jog to the left for about 50 feet and then turn right again. Continue
to the next Tee intersection and turn right. Bear right when you come to
the next intersection. On this bigger road turn left at the traffic light
(big PANASONIC sign on your left just before the light and EL RODEO
hotel/restaurant on your right after you turn).
Things are simpler from here on. Follow this road until you see a highway
overpass ahead of you. Turn right to get up on this divided highway.
See
the FINAL DIRECTIONS below.
FROM SAN JOSE:
Get to the Sabana and take the autopista along the south side to the west
(toward Escazu, Santa Ana, and Ciudad Colon). See the FINAL DIRECTIONS
below.
FROM THE CIRCUNVALACION:
Take the exit for Escazu, Santa Ana, and Ciudad Colon onto the divided
highway. See the FINAL DIRECTIONS below.
FINAL DIRECTIONS:
Just continue on this road (the median strip ends after a couple of miles).
As you enter Ciudad Colon you cross a new 2-lane bridge. Take the first
right (just beyond the gas station) and then the first left and then the
third right (onto our street, at last). Keep going past a cemetery on your
left. The pavement soon ends and we're a couple of hundred meters/yards
farther on the left. Just past the narrow white house with steep red roof
(now well hidden by a row of caņa) turn into the driveway entrance with a
simple, red pipe gate with a small sign "FINCA SARAMANDAIA". Our own
house is at the bottom of the steep, winding driveway.
