FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Where are you located?
Please see our Location Page or see the Map on the right
How far are you from the ocean?
We are located 10 miles (as the crow flies) from the Pacific Ocean (between Manuel Antonio and Dominical) and it takes about 1 hour to drive from Pueblo Nuevo Eco-Village to Dominical, on a back-country dirt road through the valley of San Marcos to Baru (a beautiful scenic drive), followed by a few miles on the paved road from Baru to Dominical (on the same main road used to get to San Isidro).
How far are you from a major town and the capital?
We are 25 miles northwest of San Isidro de El General, one of Costa Rica's largest and fastest growing cities in all of Central America (population ~50k). San Isidro (also known as "Perez") is located 73 miles south of San Jose (Costa Rica's capital), along the Panamerican Highway. By car from San Jose, a non-stop drive to Pueblo Nuevo Eco-Village takes approximately 4.5 - 5 hours, and from San Isidro it takes approximately 1 - 1.5 hours (depending on road conditions).
Are there bugs and mosquitos?
Yes, we are living on the edge of the jungle in one of the most biodiverse regions in the world! So we have our share of insects and little critters, most are harmless, but we do have poisonous ones. If you can't handle seeing a bug, snake or spider, this may not be the right place and experience for you. In terms of mosquitos, fortunately due to our elevation and climate at 1,500 feet above sea level, we have a minimal amount of mosquitos (especially in the cleared areas and houses). Casita Milagro is screened in, and we can provide mosquito nets over your beds if requested.
Are there dangerous animals?
Being that we are on the edge of the Los Santos Forest Reserve, with 300,000 acres of protected primary and secondary rainforest, the area is home to jaguars, ocelots, jagarundis, wild boars, and several poisonous snakes. It is incredibly rare to see a jaguar or wild boar, so snakes are generally the only thing you need to watch out for, and they usually come out at night.
Is there phone and internet?
Yes! 3G Phones work in our area and Wi-Fi is available for a moderate fee (by the hour).
How far is the nearest hospital?
The closest major hospital is in San Isidro 1 - 1.5 hours away (depending on road conditions).
What should I bring?
First and foremost, your adventurous spirit and yourself! Bring light clothing, shorts, tshirts, and at least one long sleeve shirt and long pants, and clothing you don't mind getting dirty/muddy in the wet season, bathing suit, sun hat, flashlight (A MUST!), books, laptop (to write or do offline work on), cds or Ipod, sunscreen, a Shot Glass of your city or country (to add to the guest collection), and an openness and willingness to coexist with our local community and immerse yourself into Costa Rica's country-living and Tico culture!
