Welcome! Here you’ll find all the details you need to arrive without getting lost.

From Puerto Viejo, drive south along the coastal road toward Manzanillo.
Pass the three supermarkets in Cocles and the Hotel Camaleon.
About 200 meters later, turn left into Calle Ole Caribe.
Follow this road for about 800 meters.
After the first steep hill you’ll see a turn to the right (Y griega iglesia) – stay straight.
Continue about 1 km until the next Y griega, then keep left.
The road climbs uphill: pass Finca Antorcha (right), then Finca Maracu (left), and later a large black gate (left).
⚠️ After the gate, the road bends left and gets rougher (downhill, then uphill). These last 400 meters of the road are challenging (especially in rain or after long droughts). A 4×4 is recommended.
Experienced drivers sometimes manage without, but be aware the track is rough.
At the top of the hill, you’ll see Project Yuyo on the right-hand side: several houses directly along the road. You’ll also notice building materials (sand, gravel) by the roadside. That’s the spot – you’ve arrived!

⚠️ Please note: If you use Kölbi or Liberty, you’ll likely lose signal around the black gate. With other providers, even earlier.
Don’t worry: once you reach the finca, you’ll have Wi-Fi again.

We organize our life without a private car, but guests can park on the finca.
Parking costs 5 USD per night and goes 100% to our rainforest protection association Huelal-Totga

If you prefer not to drive up, we recommend Fabian, a reliable tuk-tuk driver.
Price: about 9,000 CRC from Puerto Viejo (for 2 people).
He knows the way very well and is usually cheaper than other tuk-tuk drivers.
