MONTEZUMA

Just a short drive from Santa Teresa, Montezuma feels like stepping into another world — a tiny bohemian beach town where the jungle spills right into the sea. The area is famous for its waterfalls, from the well-known cascades to hidden ones deep in the forest, where you can swim beneath the trees or lounge in secret tide pools known only by locals.

Spend the day exploring with local guides who’ll show you their favorite paths, wild fruit trees, and tucked-away spots most travelers never find. Between adventures, grab lunch at one of the local sodas — simple, delicious Costa Rican food cooked with love. Montezuma is raw, beautiful, and full of soul — a reminder of how sweet the slow life can be.
