Other things to note
1. We are at the end of a 6.5 km 4 wheel drive only road. It is best to come early in the day. We can arrange a 4 wheel drive taxi to pick you up if you do not have a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the small town of La Suiza at the bottom of our hill for $25.
2. There are three supermarkets in La Suiza and three butchers. Make sure you do your food, beverage and ice shopping before coming up the hill. You don't want
to be having to make unnecessary trips down the hill taking you away from the serenity of the reserve.

    Wow, what an incredible slice of heaven. Feels like you’re a million miles away from civilization. Waking up to the sounds of the birds in the morning, dinner with Gregory (host) and sitting on the porch in the evening were highlights of the stay. It’s a commitment to get up and down the road and 4wd is essential. As such I’d recommend staying at least 2 nights w/o going down. Hosts offers horseback rides and guided hikes around the property. Might be worth checking out. Sure, the accommodations are rustic, but for us it added to the experience of it all!
