NICOYA PENINSULA
TAMBOR
The laidback
town of Tambor is located on the south end of the Nicoya Peninsula, in the Puntarenas
Province. Tambor has a lovely, long, white, sandy beach. It is ideal for
swimming, kayaking and diving. Situated amidst the lush green hills, this town is quite
well developed and has its own airport, which is the only local airport in
the southern region of the Nicoya Peninsula.
MONTEZUMA Montezuma is located near the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, 41km southwest of Paquera and 8km south of the town of Cóbano. Most services are in Cóbano. The tiny beach haven features a mainly foreign community with a lot of European influences. It’s a long-time favorite of backpackers and eco-tourists who come for the beaches, rivers and scenic waterfalls that surround the village. Nearby is the nature reserve of Cabo Blanco. The town center of Montezuma consists almost entirely of accommodations, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Catering to the young and the surf-oriented crowd that makes up the bulk of its visitors. Montezuma offers a choice of good, inexpensive rooms.
MALPAIS
Malpais
also lies at the southeastern tip of the
Nicoya Peninsula, in the Puntarenas Province. Extending some 6 kilometers
east to west, Malpais is a great place to kickback, relax and surf some
great waves. Be sure to check out some of the fabulous vacation
packages that we have assembled to visit the region.
