Where to stay in La Ventana
Stay by the launch you want: El Sargento for La Tuna through Playa Central, La Ventana for Fig Tree and Baja Joe's. El Teso, on the hill above both towns, has the quiet and the view, and you'll need a car. Book a house by the night from its owner, or by the month from October to May on a signed lease.

- Two months is common and three is normal.
Getting around
