Montezuma, Costa Rica is a long-time favorite for travelers from all over the world. It is a boutique jewel with art, yoga, wildlife, fire dancing, live music, local crafts, and a friendly hippie vibe.
This unique place is on the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, on the Northern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Nearby towns include Santa Teresa (a favorite with surfers), Mal Pais, Manzanillo, Tambor, Cabuya, and Cóbano.

One of the major attractions in Montezuma is the Montezuma Waterfalls, three waterfalls in a row. There are two smaller ones on top, which many consider to be nicer as they are more private, followed by the spectacular bottom waterfall which cascades down 80 feet.
A fun, weekly community event is the weekly organic market every Saturday morning. The community comes together to sell organic vegetables, fresh bread, craft beer, artisan delicacies, jewelry, clothing, and more!
Though Montezuma is a small village, it boasts several fantastic restaurants and a vibrant social scene for all ages.
