Mobile phones and beepers will not work in these remote valleys, and there are no public telephones. There are limited shower facilities on the premises. Water, juices, chai, coffee, and vegetarian food will be available for purchase. Yoga classes and instruction will be available as well.
TRAVEL INFORMATION:
Puerto Rico is part of the United States. If you live in the U.S. you don't need a passport or visa, since there are no customs. You only need a picture I.D. as required by the airline for check-in. If you travel to
Puerto Rico from abroad, the same passport requirements apply as for any American Destination.
Flight prices from the U.S. to San Juan vary. It is worth your time to shop around and try on different days. The best deals are found if traveling dates area flexible. We found some good deals at lowestfares.com
[800.497.7137], priceline.com, Tower Air, Ana, and TWA. The weekend of the
festival is the peak season of travel to Puerto Rico, You will therefore
have to be persistent and patient about finding deals with airlines and
hotels. The days prior to the event should be easier than the days immediately after it, when it comes to hotels.
We will organize buses on the main days of the event from San Juan International Airport to the festival site. Times and pick-up points will be announced on the information lines just before the festival. All major
car rental companies have offices at the airport, and of course it is important to make your reservation ahead of time. Car renters, please car-pool as many people as possible into your vehicle as there is limited parking space. Taxi fares from San Juan International Airport to the festival site are approximately $90. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean are just 20 minutes away.
LOCATION INFORMATION:
The party is in the jungle at La Finca El Cuco (the Farm of El Cuco). El Cuco is the native mysterious mystic, which is known in many stories and legends, some have had profound experiences and a few mortals have had passing glimpses. Will he reveal Himself to us?? EL CUCO, located between the towns of Manati and Ciales, the site is nine miles from the coast and forty minutes away from San Juan, the capitol of Puerto Rico. Running near the property is the Rio Grande de Manati which is navigable all the way to the beautiful unspoiled beaches of thenorth coast. There are numerous caves and springs on the property that are waiting to be explored for the first time. El Rio Encantado, the longest subterranean river in the world is suspected to run beneath these spiritually infused valleys. This remote private jungle setting as well as its proximity to the beach, San Juan, and the two major airports makes El Cuco ideal for numerous types of adventures. The primary property is a remote six acre farm one mile from the main road. It is very private due to the spectacular mountainous landscape which surrounds it. The festival site has several flat open spaces where the main stage, camping ground, and chillout will be. These open spaces very steep hills of virgin jungle, making it impossible to penetrate. Looking up, at the edge of the cliffs is the wide open tropical sky, so it seems like each little valley has its very own sky.
Visitors will be required to register upon arrival at a house by the main road, where secure parking will be provided. Heavy bags will be transported to the site by an official vehicle and then there will be a one mile hike on a dirt road through the jungle to the secluded site of El Cuco. This is a sacred area. After the Spaniards invaded Puerto Rico the native people, the Indios Tainos, retreated into these hidden and remote canyons. Later, the Spaniards opened up the small, flat valleys for agriculture. In the early 1900's the inhabitants moved to the cities. The jungle vegetation quickly overgrew the farm. Only these parts have been cleared out again, and not a single inch of jungle was touched. Please respect the environment and dispose of garbage as instructed on the site.
OPENING CEREMONY:
The opening ceremony will begin on Saturday, February 19th at 4:20 PM, when the sign of Leo, the regal ruler of play fun, and beauty will be rising in the East. The ceremony will be performed by a native holy man, a priest of Santeria (indigenous mystical path), invoking all supreme beings from all traditions, the five elements, nature, and of course, El Cuco, to bestow their blessings and protections upon the event and its participants, so that it will be filled with joy, light, and life transforming insights all throughout the three days. The night of February 19th will be a full moon in the sign of Virgo. In this part of the world, the moon is so bright one can read by the moonshine. The festival will end Monday, February 21st in the early afternoon.
OUR INTENTIONS:
This is the first major music event to be held in El Cuco. Our hosts intend to stage high quality music events and spiritual gatherings regularly. Our hosts in Puerto Rico and Tsunami are working very hard and doing their best to bring about a memorable festival to east visitor assembling the strongest international trance line-up to ever appear in this country. In order to succeed, we will need the help of each and every one of us. Please help out from time to time with the chores at hand, and please follow suggestions from the security and organizers. Lets shower each other with love and respect, so that together we will make El Cuco a first in a series of experiences that we will cherish forever.
