Montezuma Costa Rica

Montezuma Costa Rica

Long known as the beaches to go to if you just want to get away from everything- Playa Montezuma is the gathering place for Costa Rica’s most individual and eccentric visitors.  For years this has been the beach for celebrities and famous musicians to visit out of the glare of the spot-light and has become a haven for the bohemian traveler. The center of the small town that is nearest the beach is a people watcher’s paradise with the creative and the unusual in abundance. Whether it is the dreadlocked Rastafarians, the surf bums, the tattooed and pierced bohemians or just the local artists and musicians- this is definitely a place with a sense of funky individuality.  So beloved is this beach area among locals that the founders of the Costa Rican National Park system lived and were buried here.

  The liberal influence that permeates the area of Montezuma has lent itself to a varied and delicious cuisine among the local restaurants and there is an exciting and vibrant nightlife at a collection of nightclubs and bars.  There is also a wide variety of crafts and art available in a myriad of little shops, but almost anywhere you go on the street.  There are many activities for visitors to this area- kayaking, snorkeling at near-by Tortuga Island, awesome zip lines trips thru the rain forest or just renting a bicycle and exploring on your own. This is Montezuma.
