  • What are the Driving Directions to The Garden ?

    Starting Point: Main Road

    Head towards Eco-Chontales: Begin your journey on the main road and continue straight, following signs directed towards Eco-Chontales. Ensure to keep an eye out for any signage indicating the direction or distance as you progress.

    Cross the Suspension Bridge: As you approach Eco-Chontales, you'll encounter a distinctive suspension bridge. Carefully cross this bridge, maintaining a keen lookout for any oncoming traffic, as this bridge is narrow.

    First Property on the Left: Immediately after crossing the suspension bridge, be prepared to make a turn. The Garden is the first property located on your left-hand side. You might notice a sign or a distinguishing landmark at the entrance – this is your cue to slow down and prepare to turn.

    Navigate Up the Hill: Upon entering The Garden's premises, continue driving up the hill. This path may be winding or steep in sections, so adjust your speed accordingly and watch for any directional signs or markers that may guide you further.

    Descend Towards the Check-in Area: After reaching the top of the hill, you'll need to descend on the left side past a notable shop (refer to as "the Guard Den" in your instructions). This area may serve as a point of reference, indicating you're on the correct path towards the Front of House (FOH).

    Arrive at FOH Past the Casita: The final stretch of your journey involves continuing past a small house or casita until you reach the Front of House (FOH) area. This is where you'll check in, receive further information, and possibly be directed to your designated parking or camping spot.

    Additional Tips:

    Stay Alert: The road leading to The Garden, especially after the suspension bridge, can be less traveled and might require careful navigation.

    Follow Signage: Keep an eye out for any Bliss Burn-specific signage along the way, as this can help guide you directly to the check-in area without confusion.

    Drive Slowly: Given the natural terrain and potential wildlife, it's wise to drive slowly and cautiously, especially when navigating up the hill and during your descent.

    For Assistance:

    If you find yourself unsure or in need of directions, don't hesitate to contact Bliss Burn's helpline or consult with local residents who are generally familiar with the area and can assist you in finding The Garden.

    Please ensure to double-check the route specifics and any landmarks mentioned with the event organizers or through an official map for Bliss Burn. Safe travels, and we look forward to welcoming you to The Garden!
