How to arrive to Finca Vrindavan
Baños, Rio negro, Estancias (4km)
Directions:
Take the bus from Baños towards Puyo and get off in the town of Rio Negro (approx. 40 minutes bus ride, 0,75 cents) ask the local taxi drivers to take you the 4 km to Finca Vrindavan (2 dollars for a shared taxi).
PS: If you arrive in Rio Negro after dark, it may be difficult to find a taxi to take you to the farm. Rio Negro is a very small town with just a few taxis and the taxi drivers usually stop working around 9:00 PM. The taxis are pickup trucks and are usually parked in front of the plaza. You can ask for a taxi in any of the stores or restaurants. If you can't find a taxi, it is possible to walk to the farm. Walk to the end of town (towards Puyo) and turn right, crossing the bridge. It is about 4km from the bridge to the farm.

Eco Village Network
Finca Vrindavan is part of a network of organic farms and Eco Villages across the Americas and Europe.
All Eco Villages aim to make friends who will carry our message of simple living and caring for our beloved land to other parts of the world. Principled Vaisnavas (a sanscrit word meaning: person with a good heart) can not only help in the development of our Eco Villages, but by living with others who share the same ideals will also learn how to be the best that they can be and live harmoniously.
Through this network, we care for others through an awareness of nature and universal love.
