Wow! What a great family!
Maria, and Art were some of the nicest people we met on our trip throughout the country. They gave us all sorts of tips for places to eat, and thins to do, and even drove us to the bus terminal when we left to make sure we got the right bus!
We woke up every morning to a beautifully cooked breakfast (yes, the fry jacks are SO good), and lots of coffee to start the day. The rooftop patio was so nice anytime of the day to sit on a hammock, or watch the sunset over the hills.
San Ignacio, and Santa Elena were both nice towns - although San Ignacio has more to do in terms of eating, and entertainment, but luckily it's only a 10 min walk to the centre of town from the house.
If you're traveling around the country, and want a relaxing place to stay, with all sorts of information about the town and surrounding area - we can't recommend Art & Maria enough, they treated us like family!
