Finca Estrella, Car Rental, Costa Rica

Many airlines fly to the capital, San Jose. From there you can either:

 

1)      Take a local flight to Golfito with Sansa or Nature Air . Flights are around $90 and you can enjoy the stunning descent into the beautiful airstrip at Golfito. From there you can rent a car from Solid Car Rental or grab a taxi (about $70) for the hour ride to Finca Estrella.  The other option is to rent our Nissan Pathfinder for $40 a day ($200 a week).  That way you save money as you only rent a car when you need it.  We can also rent it with a driver for $75 a day inclusive of gas.

From Golfito airstrip follow the road through the town (there is only one) and stock up with groceries either at Megasuper or Pearson .  After shopping, continue for about 10 minutes until you see the sign on your right for the turning to Playa Pavones. Take this right turn. After another 5 minutes you will cross the river Coto on the new bridge. From there follow the signs towards Playa Pavones. You will turn right at Conte (don’t blink or you’ll miss it) with its supermarket on the right and bar on the left. About 2 km out of Conte the road will split and you will take the left turn towards Playa Pavones. After about 8 km you will see a bright yellow sign on your left for Finca Estrella. If you pass the tiny Escuela Cuervito (Cuervito school) on your right you have gone 100m too far so turn round. Take this turning signposted to Finca Estrella. Casa Amarilla is the bright yellow house 2.4 km up the road.  You will pass Casa del Sol (on left), Casa Roja (on left) and Casa Madera (on right) as you drive.
