“Montezuma, submerged at the foot of high cliffs with a jungle bathed by small rivers pouring into picturesque waterfalls of life, the small and expressive townhouses a mix of local residents, foreign entrepreneurs, artists and nature lovers who share this bright blue corner rich in fauna, a lush mantle of protected forests, beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea pools at the southern tip of this beautiful Nicoya Península, in Cóbano, Puntarenas.

A place full of warm restaurants, boutiques and small hotels a few meters from beaches of extreme beauty, Montezuma is rich in opportunities for exploration, whether for it’s various beaches, rivers and walks through the forest. There is also a surfing opportunity for beginners.”
