The fine print
There is a river crossing via raft to arrive here, due to the rainy season guests MUST get here before 2pm in the afternoon as the river can rise and occasionally the crossing must be closed to ensure their safety.
Please inform La Ponderosa Reserve in advance of your expected arrival time. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation.
