Fortunately, you don’t need to be Columbus or
Magellan to reach us. Our paradise is most easily reached by regular charter flights from San
Jose, Costa Rica's capital, to Tambor, where our staff will be waiting
to take you to our tropical hideaway a few minutes away.
Remoteness within easy reach...
Our resort is located approximately 110 miles from San Jose, and is accessible by air
