How to Find Rancho Delicioso
Driving Directions to Rancho Delicioso
Rancho Delicioso is in the middle of the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, so is conveniently located close to all the best beach towns of Montezuma, Santa Teresa, and Malpais.
How to get to Rancho Delicioso from Montezuma
Driving Time: 10 minutes
Go up the hill from Montezuma, on the Delicias road, which is paved at the beginning steep parts, and starts at Hotel Amor de Mar and the Montezuma Falls parking lot.
From there, drive up past Anamaya, then you’ll get to an intersection after about four minutes and turn left. Then at another intersection a minute later, with a cemetery, turn right. You’ll pass the Delicias school on the right, then 300 meters later, on the right are the three gates of Rancho Delicioso. Enter the middle, green gate and park on the left in a flat area about 60 meters inside.

Google Map of Rancho Delicioso Location
As of November 2016, this map seems to be pretty up to date. I would guess the photo was taken in March of 2016. It’s dry season so all the grass is brown. The River Palace structure is there, under construction, and you can see all our greenhouses and the volunteer house.
Bing Map
As of Nov, 2016, the Bing map below seems to be around 4 years old, so it doesn’t show very much of what we have here now unfortunately. Hopefully they’ll update it soon.
