Parking is inside but once it's filled there is parking on the street – just park as much off the road as possible.
(for those who remember Cafe des Artistas [currently called Mad Fish], LTG is just a little further up the road from there. For those who remember Sat Yoga - That's where LTG is!!)
FROM SAN JOSE:
Take the Pista Del Sol #27, and exit at the 1st Escazu Exit (at WalMart). Go straight through 2 sets of traffic lights, and get in the Left lane. Just past Rosti Pollo (which is on your right) take the next LEFT (careful turning across the traffic coming up the hill) at Plaza Rose (formerly called Plaza Rolex & home to CitiBank) onto Calle Rolex. Follow the “Base Directions” above.

Going East on Calle Vieja (the Old Road [aka John F Kennedy Avenue]) – at the end – aka the Scotia Split – la Cruz (note Scotia Bank is no longer there) turn Left.

BUS DIRECTIONS:
There are 8 bus lines that go from San Jose into Escazu
http://EscazuNews.blogspot.com/2013/02/tapachula-rutas-de-buses-en-escazu-y.html
most that stop within just 2 blocks of this new location so you have many options:
- Santa Ana-Calle Vieja (1st stall INSIDE the CocaCola bus terminal).
- most buses from the small park by Parque Merced- at the South/East corner behind Hospital San Juan de Dios (San Antonio, Centro, Bebedero, Vista del Oro)
- any Escazu bus that says "WalMart"
- Do NOT take any "Pista" buses that go by MultiPlaza or Guachipilin.
Get off at Rosti Pollo & carefully cross the street & go East up the street where CitiBank is.
For those coming from the North/West side that don't want to go all the way into San Jose, there's also the Interlinea bus that goes between Hospital Mexico - through Rohrmoser/Pavas to Escazu

CENAC = https://facebook.com/pages/CENAC/118913571518808 • http://mcjdcr.go.cr
DONDE • WHERE: San Jose - in the old CENAC building/the Centro Cultural Nacional - Avenida 3 between Calle 15 y 17 (home also to MADC - Museo de Arte y Diseno Contemporaneo) - at the East end of Parque España and almost caddy corner to the tall INS building.
DIRECTIONS: Go North-bound on Calle 11 - under the overpass and immediately turn right onto Avenida 3 and an immediate Left onto whatever street that is that is in front of Cenac and the East end of Parque España. Note to get to Calle 11 - there is a BUNCH of road construction going on around there so see my note for directions to Tin Jo (which is on Calle 11)
Coordinates•Coordenadas: 9°56'8"N 84°4'21"W

ESCAZU:
From the COCA-COLA BUS TERMINAL (on Calle 16 - between Avenida 1-3. In typical Costa Rica form, it hasn't had the markings saying "Coca Cola" for MANY MANY years but ALL taxi's/any local knows where it is. I hear over & over - this is an area to have your logic/radar going CONSTANTLY - BE AWARE!!! [of be smart & just take a taxi there]).
Take the first bus (most Easterly/Este) - the BLUE SANTA ANA - CALLE VIEJA (pronounced SanTana KiYAA VYAha) bus.
(do NOT NOT NOT take any "Escazu" bus [or you'll end up in the hills/taking the LONG way] or a "Pista" bus [the Prospero Fernandez Highway #27] one unless you want to go to MultiPlaza or Santa Ana). I believe this bus is 275-colones (they'll give you change so don't worry in colones) & takes about 10 minutes (depending on traffic of course).
When you get on the bus, tell the driver where you want to go.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
