Featured Destinations
Montezuma
Montezuma
Montezuma, a lazy seaside village on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, attracts an offbeat clientele but has become increasingly popular with the local elite. A one-hour water-taxi service from Playa Herradura, near Jaco, has increased traffic to the area. There are a number of unique bohemian-chic restaurants and cafes, and accommodations are on the increase, ranging from rustic cabins to upscale beach-resort bungalows. There are several coved beaches around Montezuma, and an impressive three-tiered waterfall and zipline within walking distance of town. Hiking to the second tier of the waterfall is relatively easy, but the trek to the top is only for advanced hikers. Montezuma is on the way to Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, where hiking trails lead to sparsely populated beaches, and it lies 75 mi/120 km west of San Jose. The Curu National Wildlife Refuge is located about an hour from Montezuma. It is Costa Rica's first private wildlife refuge, and its beaches are nesting areas for leatherback, ridley and hawksbill turtles. An astounding variety of birds—more than 110 species—have been sighted in the small park. You can also go kayaking and snorkeling in the Bay of Curu. http://www.curuwildliferefuge.com.

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
This small Caribbean coastal town is a unique melting pot of Afro-Caribbean descendants, European expats and indigenous Costa Rican tribes. The town is bounded by rainforest, jungle, banana plantation, and scenic rivers that leads to the sea. While its two National Parks (Cahuita and Manzanillo) attracts the most avid of backpackers, its scaled waves lures out the large surfer community. So if you're craving global fusion gastronomy, scenic nature, array of adventures, a little party and a lot of chill - Puerto Viejo is where you want to explore.

Monteverde
Monteverde
The Monteverde rainforest area, which comprises ten towns with 8,000 people, is situated on the Continental Divide at an elevation of 5,600 feet. A walk through a Costa Rica Monteverde cloud forest reveals a lush green garden of mosses, ferns, flowers and epiphytes growing thickly on every tree. Clouds drift in and settle among the slopes, giving the continuous moisture required for such exuberant plant growth. Dangling roots and vines sweep across the trails. The air is rich with the sounds of birds and the occasional scurrying of small mammals on the forest floor. In the distance a howler monkey roars.
