DESTINATION
Montezuma
Costa Rica · Puntarenas Province
Bohemian beach town at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Jungle-backed beaches, the three-tier Montezuma Waterfall a short hike from town, and boat trips to Tortuga Island. Long a magnet for artists and yogis, with Cabo Blanco — Costa Rica's first nature reserve — just down the road. Arrive via the Paquera ferry or a short flight to Tambor.
