Directions for the slower, meandering but paved all the way road: Take the road from San Jose to Ciudad Colon. Once you're in Ciudad Colon, look out for a sign saying "no hay paso" that means you're going on to a one way street. Instead turn right at the gas station and then left at the next street and you will see a green AmaTierra sign up high (on a car wash building) stating you are 35 KM from the Hotel. Go to the top of the hill thru the town of Cuidad Colon and turn left before the road turns to dirt, following paved road. You will see a University of La Paz (Peace) sign on the left. Make sure you follow the road out of town (do not turn right to the U. of Peace), but veer right after that sign and go towards Puriscal. After about 20 minutes, you will arrive in Puriscal. About 300 meters past the gas station on the right, you will see a sign for Turrubares/Orotina/Jaco - turn left there, in front of the Red Cross/ICE building. Follow about 3 blocks past the church, and just after the stop light you will see a white sign that will say Turrubaris/Orotina/Jaco then you MUST turn right after the sign and take this paved road past the cemetaries, continuing on to AmaTierra. The Hotel is located 17KM or 20 minutes once you leave Puriscal. We are on the right side of the road 2KM before San Pablo and you will see a Green AmaTierra sign 200 meters before to let you know you are close. It is easy to find and the road is paved the entire way - simply look for the living green fence and wooden gate. If the gate is closed, just honk and the guard will open the gate.
