Ponderosa is located in Campo San Gerardo de La Tigra in the Canton of San Carlos
and the Alajuela Province of Costa Rica and is very nearly the exact geographical
center of the Country East - West in the "Northern Zone" on the Atlantic side
of a mountaintop in the Tilaran mountain range, 30 kilometers (19 miles) due
east of Montverde, 45 kilometers (28 miles) north of San Ramon and due west of
Ciudad Quesada. La Tigra is about a 2 hour drive from the San Jose airport ( which
is actually just outside of Alajuela ) Campo San Gerardo is in a "remote" location which means negligleable noise, traffic, crime and disruptions, we are NOT isolated and have public transportation in La Tigra just 3 miles down the mountain from our facility Follow this link to see local attractions and activities http://www.La-Tigra.com/daytrip.php La Tigra is located on a "flyway" for migrating birds and butterflies. One can see hundreds, or even thousands, of swallowtail kites and vultures. There are more than 270 bird species in this area, including quetzals, bell birds, umbrella birds, trogans, toucans, parrots and various songbirds. More than 450 species of butterflies have also been identified in this area. Wildlife abounds all around the farms, and three types of cats or jaguar tracks have been seen on various property - I have personally seen the Costa Rica Tigra early morning chasing a large catlike appearance animal they call a "tejon" and a second time just running across our property |
