Best Time to Visit

Here’s an insider tip – spring and early summer are absolutely magical at Finca La Paz. The gardens burst with life, and the weather is perfect for outdoor dining. I particularly love visiting during harvest seasons (typically April-June and September-November) when the menu is at its most diverse. Weekend brunches tend to get pretty busy, so I’d recommend making reservations for weekday visits if you’re after a more relaxed experience.

How to Get There

Getting to Finca La Paz requires a bit of planning, but trust me, it’s worth the effort. If you’re driving, follow the main highway and look for signs pointing to the organic farm route – you can’t miss the distinctive wooden entrance arch. For those using public transport, catch the local bus to the nearby town and arrange for the restaurant’s shuttle service (just make sure to book this in advance). And yeah, the road gets a bit bumpy towards the end, but that’s part of the adventure!

Tips for Visiting

Take it from someone who’s been here multiple times – there are a few things that’ll make your visit even better. First off, wear comfortable shoes because you’ll want to explore the gardens. I always suggest arriving about 30 minutes before your reservation to take a mini-tour of the grounds.

Bring a light jacket or shawl even on warm days – the natural ventilation can make the dining area cool in the evenings. Oh, and don’t forget your camera! The presentation of dishes is absolutely Instagram-worthy, and the sunset views are spectacular.

Make sure to try their signature herb-infused cocktails – they’re constantly experimenting with new combinations based on what’s growing in the garden. And if you’re interested in learning more about their farming practices, just ask! The staff love sharing their knowledge about sustainable agriculture.

Request a garden-side table when making your reservation – these spots offer the best atmosphere and views of the surrounding nature. And speaking from experience, save room for dessert – their seasonal fruit-based sweets are out of this world.

Lastly, check their events calendar before visiting. They often host special dining experiences, cooking workshops, and seasonal harvest festivals that add an extra layer of magic to your visit. The wine-pairing dinners are particularly special – I still remember this amazing evening last fall when they showcased local vintages alongside their autumn menu.
