Hacienda Matapalo www.haciendamatapalo.com has received a permit to begin work on the main interior road, which will go from the property frontage all the way up to the 125-acre nature preserve. This road will provide easy access up and down the property without the need for horses, developers said. 

“Our road team is ready to begin work, the equipment is on its way to the property today” said partner Edwin Acosta.

This road can be accessed directly from the Costanera highway  along the Pacific coast, which is being raised, widened and paved.
