12 km to the Circunvalacion, Hwy CR 39, the entrance is across from Denny's
Restaurant past Hospital Mexico. Follow the
rotundas always staying on CR39 until the 215 to
Zapote exit. There is a very large statue in the middle of the rotunda and the
Zapote road is the first right. At this moment the sign has fallen down and thus is
not marked. Follow this road past the Mall del Este until it merges with
the highway that picks up again on the far side of Zapote.
Choose the middle lane toward Cartago.
The InterAmerican Highway (CR2) goes past Cartago and then
on up across Cerro de la Muerte (elev 11,000 feet) to

by the green "Charleston" signs. Continue straight ahead
on this gravel road 3.4 km. Proceed cautiously on wet
roads. Any exposed red clay is very slippery. The soccer
