About 10 minutes past Uvita, keep an eye out for the Plaza Ventana and gas station, with very large dinosaurs, on your left. Do not let WAZE tell you to turn here... the road is very bad!
Allow WAZE to recalibrate, and about 3 km further, you will see the blue "El Colono" hardware store on your left, start slowing down because the road to the village is on the left, right after the hardware store.
You will see the signs for the village of Ojochal, it is a well marked entrance off the highway to the left, right after the Colono hardware store and before a bridge ...with a bit of a steep down hill entrance into the village.
