Close to the tip of the Nicoya Peninsula lies the laid-back, famously bohemian beach getaway of Montezuma. With its beautiful beaches, crashing waterfalls and colorful atmosphere, it’s a favorite spot for travelers trying to escape the high-rise developments starting to encrust more popular towns.

The reason why Montezuma has been overlooked all these years, is because it’s relatively time-consuming to visit; it’s not attached by paved road to the more popular Guanacaste beaches like Tamarindo and Papagayo, so most travelers take a ferry across the Golfo de Nicoya from the mainland. It’s worth the trip, however, for the magical feeling that you’ve escaped back into the Costa Rica of yesteryear.
