From Panama City: Drive southwest on PanAmerican highway (”autopista”) for approximately one hour 10 minutes to San Carlos (depending on traffic). Continue past the turnoff for San Carlos for .8 km where you will see bus stop shelters on both sides of the highway. Look on your right for a small FLM sign (8 ½ x 11). Turn RIGHT after the bus shelter on the right. You will soon see a blue and yellow school building on your left. This road leads through our small village of “El Nance”. (see below “once in the village of El Nance” ) If you reach the turnoffs for Rio Mar or El Valle, you’ve gone too far.
From El Valle turnoff:
Head toward Panama City on the PanAM highway, and in less than 3 or 4 minutes, and AFTER the road on right that goes to RIO MAR, you will see an enormous vertical rectangular billboard advertising BANYAN LEAF on the right side of the road. TURN LEFT onto the small road directly across from that billboard and immediately BEFORE the two bus stop shelters on either side of the highway. You will soon see a blue and yellow school building on your left. This road passes through our tiny local village of “El Nance”. Continue on…see below.
Once in the village of “El Nance”:
After passing the blue and yellow high school on the left, staying on the main road (most obvious) and pass through the small village of “El Nance” (village name is not indicated anywhere). On right you’ll see a barely-recognizable super-mini “store” or “chino” on right. Continue on and at the fork in the road, you will see the village’s small playground and basketball court. Bear to the RIGHT and follow the road which curves to the right and down a hill. At bottom of that small hill, follow a red cyclone fence on left side. curving again to the left and slightly uphill. Now HERE is the tricky part:
At the END of that red cyclone fence, when the road begins to go uphill again, look to your immediate RIGHT and you’ll see another red cyclone wire fence that encloses a baseball field. Bear slightly toward the RIGHT toward baseball field, then make an immediate hard left onto the newly-paved road. (has white stripes on both sides). If you pass the “bleachers” you’ve gone the wrong way; turn around and go away from baseball field in the direction toward the “outfield”. Continue straight on this road for 2-3 minutes until you see a 3 foot high white cross at a fork and a dirt road on the LEFT. Leave the paved road, bearing LEFT at that white cross, continue another minute straight ahead until you see bright tangerine color walls and a double gate. This is the entrance to “Finca La Maya” which is clearly indicated on the left side of the gate. You’ve arrived!
There are SIGNS posted to lead your way, thanks for your patience!
