Take
the Paquera ferry from Puntarenas, departing several
times everyday, and enjoy an hour and a half trip
over the Nicoya Gulf. Once in Paquera, another
hour by road will get you to Montezuma. Or fly
from San Jose to Tambour in half an hour and another
half hour by road to Montezuma. Either by land
or by air, Montezuma is very accessible.
Costa
Rica’s central Pacific coast is a year-round tropical
playground. It’s evergreen forests meet warm Pacific
surf on sandy beaches and the rivers and mountains
behind hold a wealth of activities for the adventurous.
A unique setting that Costa Ricans and foreign
travellers discovered long ago.
Montezuma
: the curious blend
Across the gulf of Nicoya lies
the village of Montezuma. This bohemian settlement
has beautiful scenic beaches and superb gourmet
restaurants and eco-resorts as well as facilities
and services suitable to the most demanding tastes.
Foreign settlers first came to this area in the
1950’s. Since then they have been increasingly
active, building the village which today features
all services and gathers an international community
fully engaged in the protection of nature. As
if beauty and bohemian extravaganza weren’t enough,
Montezuma is the only beach zone in the entire
country where you can enjoy a vineyard tour, on
a wild experience that ends up with a torch ceremony
at sunset.
This event very much reveals the general atmosphere
in Montezuma.
Despite
it’s natural scenic impact, Montezuma is cosy and intimate;
a village that voluntary wants to keep a low profile but nevertheless
active and energetic and that’s the curious blend. Enjoy waterfalls,
canopy tour, Capo Blanco and Curu nature reserves, horseback
riding, diving, sport fishing, surfing, kayaking, ocean tours
to nearby islands, golf, yoga, massages, art exhibitions,
concerts, full moon party’s, gourmet cuisine and vibrating
nightlife.
