Where to find us

Visit Our Campus

We are located just 3.5 kilometers from the center of San Juan del Sur on the organic farm at Finca Las Nubes (Cloud Farm), some 1,200 to 1,500 feet high on a plateau.  The farm has spectacular views of Costa Rica to the South, miles of beaches to the West and volcanoes rising out of Lake Nicaragua to the East. There are protected valleys for farming and large open pastures for grazing animals surrounded by natural forest with creeks and waterfalls. There is abundant wildlife including three types of monkeys, sloth, deer and many bird species.
