Here are some THINGS TO CONSIDER before renting Casa Catarata: 1 - LOCATION. We are located in the mountains above Antigua approximately 10-15 minutes by car from Antigua under normal traffic conditions. A single track road is involved which any type of moped, motorbike, car or 4x4 can access. Longer-based vehicles such as small busses cannot pass due to turning restrictions. 2 - ACCESS to the property is by foot on our mountain resrve paths (which can be slippery). From arrival you will need to walk approximately 150 m downhill. If you bring heavy suitcases and lots of stuff, you will have to carry it all down & up the hill. It is better to travel light with a backpack or bags without wheels! Think glamping! Also please use appropriate adventure footwear. We can arrange a porter service with 24 hours notice. 3 - FOOD & DRINK - are available at our restaurant La Colmena Antigua. Please see our website for more details and to book a table. We can also organise picnics, packed lunches and meal kits in your room with notice should you need these services during your stay. 4 - PARKING / ARRIVING. You cannot park directly at your accommodation becasue it is accessed via a neterok of footpaths inside our reserve. It is a few minutes walk up/down between your home and the neighbours' carpark located adjacent to our main entrance walkway. The neighbours’ carpark 'parqueo' costs q100 in cash per 24 hours. There are no ATMs on the mountain so come prepared. 5. LATE ARRIVAL If you wish to arrive after 6pm (after office hours), you must be comfortable to follow the detailed arrival instructions in the Airbnb app - otherwise you should book a meet & greet service (q300). You will need a torch for arrival post sunset as it’s dark on the mountain after sunset (your phone torch should be sufficient).
