Thanks, do you also know how to get to the University of Georgia Campus in San Luis. We will be driving their from Playa Prieta. How long will this take?

I think Luis meant Belen not Mansion. Mansion is the turnoff for Samara.

To get to the University of Georgia Campus in San Luis head back to the highway (21) at Belen but turn south towards Nicoya. 12 km past Nicoya turn left (east) on hwy 18 to the friendship bridge and the pan American hwy.

At the pan American hwy turn right then a few km later turn left towards Juntas. Follow the signs to Monteverde/Santa Elena. Pass through Santa Elena, Cerro Plano and Monteverde towns continuing towards the Cloud forest reserve about 1 km to the signed turn to the left for San Luis.

Alternatively you can continue south on the pan Am Highway past the turnoff for Juntas and take signed the road towards Monteverde at Rancho Grande that passes through Sardinal. From this road there is a signed turn for San Luis to the right.

Either way it'll be about a 3.5 hour drive.

Sorry, I made a mistake in the above

"towards the Cloud forest reserve about 1 km to the signed turn to the left for San Luis."

should read

"towards the Cloud forest reserve about 1 km to the signed turn to the RIGHT for San Luis.
