After leaving Puriscal, you will continue through the towns of Santa Marta, La Palma, Salitrales, and other small communities. The paved road ends a bit outside of Puriscal so drive carefully! A little over an hour outside of Puriscal you will reach an intersection in the road near a small bus stop. There are two signs at this intersection. One sign points to "Parque Nacional La Cangreja", and there is another very small sign that points to Mastatal, Zapatón, and San Miguel. Make a left hand turn, and continue.

From San Jose by Bus:

If you are leaving from the airport, you can take a bus or a cab to reach the Comtrasuli bus terminal located on Avenida 1 between Calle 16 and Calle 18 in central San Jose. Buses leave frequently, so you should not have a problem catching one. The trip is about 1 hour and you will arrive in the central square of Puriscal. The bus to Mastatal leaves from in front of a "Carnicería" caddy corner from the Super Mora grocery store at 3 p.m. every day except Sundays when it leaves at 4 p.m. Since there are two Super Mora grocery stores in town, it is important that you make sure you are near the larger one. The bus usually has a sign that reads "Zapatón" but you should ask the driver where he is going to be sure. The trip to Mastatal takes 2 hours. The bus will drop you off in the center of town. If you notify Cabañas Siempre Verde that you are going to arrive on a specific day, Marcos or another volunteer will meet you at the bus. If not, it is about a 5 minute walk to Cabañas Siempre Verde. Walk right towards San Miguel and follow the road past the soccer field and to the left past the school. You will pass one intersection until you reach the first driveway on your left. The entrance to Cabañas Siempre Verde is just past the driveway on the left.
