Catering
Catering services are available from Francesca. She is an amazing cook and provides in-home catering services. She will prepare whatever you desire; everything from traditional Mexican fare to exquisite steak, seafood, shrimp and lobster dinners. Dinners can include a crisp green salad and vegetables.
Although you can order whatever you wish, a breakfast can include fresh tropical fruit, fresh squeezed orange and/or grapefruit juice, eggs with bacon or chorizo, toast or tortillas and refried beans.
She also prepares a variety of appetizers including empanadas, ceviche, and guacamole with homemade tortilla chips. Lunch is also available but seldom requested as the dinners are so plentiful that they usually provide leftovers for lunch the next day.

Fishing Boat (23' Super Panga)
The Casa has its own fishing boat. You will have full access and use of the panga with Mino as your boat captain. Fishing gear and fuel is available at a rate of $300 US per day for fishing and eco-touring, or $60 US per hour for shorter use of the boat.
If you think you might want to use the boat give Wolf Property Management your credit card information. They will keep it on file and charge for your use of the boat at the end of your rental.
Also, when you go fishing, Mino will often start the day by picking up live bait. The cost of bait is usually about $20 cash.
ATV Rentals
ATVs can be rented and delivered to the driveway of Casa Cardonal. Consider renting Mino an ATV and he can show your the petroglyphs and the arroyos.
Ask Wolf to arrange ATVs.
