To visit the property, drive through
the town of Nicoya and keep your eye out for these
buildings about 20 minutes outside of town (south)
on the road to Samara or about 27 kilometers
distance. This small cluster of buildings is the
pueblo described as “Maquenco” on most maps.
Maquenco is also about 6 kilometers north of the
last petro station in the area near the Y heading to
Samara or Nosara.
Look for these buildings in the
picture to the left. There is a sign that says
Maquenco but it is very small.
Turn onto the dirt road and head
right up into the hills about 4.5 kilometers. This is year around road
and should be good even if it is raining.
As you enter this road, there is a church on the
left and a clinic on the right.
As
you up the road you will eventually
come to a small blue building on your right, with a
sloping soccer field in front of the building. This
is the local school for about 10 kids. Alberto the school teacher’s house
is just down a bit to the right. Do not turn right,
just stay straight ahead.
(If you turn right the year round road ends in front
of the school and you then enter a dry-season road
we put in going up the mountain to Zaragoza and over
to Nosara.)
So, keep to the left after you pass the school, and you
will see a corral and then you will immediately
see a very nice road to the right. This is the road
to go down. (Note: please be sure to close all gates
behind you.)
If you look down this road it looks like the
picture above.
You will pass a house on the left
as you enter the wooded area. This is the home of
Senior Morales who we purchased the easement.
Follow this road to the property, about 1.5
kilometers. It is not a straight road but winds
through the woods and across the pasture land and we
think you will agree it is one of the better roads
in Costa Rica. :)
Once you break out of the woods to pasture, keep the
fence on the left and head straight across the pasture.
Continue to the small parking area. Once
at the parking area you have already been on the
finca for 200 meters. The picture to the left shows
the parking area which leads to the second row of ocean view lots
up the hill.
