San ramon, Costa Rica

San Ramon is located northwest of the capital of San José, about a 45 minute bus ride from the airport. The city is in the central valley of Costa Rica which is a mountainous area. Juan Santamaría International Airport is the primary airport serving San José. The airport is located near the city of Alajuela, 20 km west of downtown San José. Most major airlines fly to this destination.

Meals are included in the cost of room and board. Breakfast and dinner are prepared by local women and are typical Costa Rican foods. Lunch usually consists of sandwiches, salads, fresh fruits, and other easy to prepare items since schedules throughout the day need to remain flexible. There is plenty of clean, filtered water which is safe for drinking. Bottled water is not necessary at the mission.

The mission is an all enclosed, secure 2+acre facility. Housing in the “lodge” has three bedrooms and comfortably sleeps 20. Larger groups can move some members into the multi-purpose building as needed or into the cafeteria, a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house that formerly served as a parsonage. It has a sleeping capacity of approximately 8 persons. Between both sleeping areas, there are six hot water showers and restrooms available for use by the teams.

Popularexcursion destinations are the Arenal Volcano, Poas Volcano, the beach town of Jaco, or Manuel Antonio National Park. FSM can tailor your trip to meet your group’s needs and maximize your experiences in serving at the mission and traveling in Costa Rica.
