Getting Around

The best way to of getting around is with a rental car. We are easily found on Waze. Please keep in mind that the last 1.6 km of the road are unpaved so we advise you have a vehicle with a high clearence as some parts may be bumpy (4x4 is a good idea, but not mandatory) . Finally, if possible, we also recommend driving to the lodge in daylight for the first time.
