Llanos de Cortés near Bagaces

This waterfall is a separate outing in the Bagaces area. Confirm current access and conditions before traveling and choose a viewing route suited to your group. Wet rocks and changing water conditions require care; avoid jumps or unmarked approaches.

Manuel Antonio’s Forest and Wildlife

The park protects forest and coastal habitats where many kinds of wildlife live. A quiet pause can reveal movement, calls or leaf shapes you first missed. Observe from a distance, avoid feeding animals and remember that sightings depend on nature.

Montezuma Village

Across the southern peninsula from Santa Teresa, Montezuma combines a small coastal town with creative local life and access to nature outings. Leave time to explore its village streets and ask about current cultural events or artisan stalls.

Quepos as a Conservation Starting Point

A visit to Quepos can connect town life with nearby forest and mangrove conservation. Choose an authorized outing, keep food away from wildlife and ask how your host helps protect the habitat you are exploring.

Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary

Sibu offers educational visits about Nosara’s wildlife and the animals in its care. Learn why habitat protection and reducing human-made hazards matter. Visits require advance booking; the sanctuary lists a minimum age of five and prohibits touching or handling wildlife.

The Story of a Port City

Puntarenas city is distinct from the province that shares its name. A waterfront walk can become a conversation about trade, travel and local food. Notice everyday activity from permitted spaces and ask a willing host about the city’s changing roles.

Montezuma Waterfall

A wooded river setting near Montezuma leads to a well-known waterfall. Treat this as a separate outing from Santa Teresa and confirm the authorized approach with a local guide. Wet rocks, steep drops and changing river levels require care; do not jump from the falls.

Senderos de Nosara

The civic trail network connects neighborhoods with green corridors around Guiones and Pelada. Turn a walk into a search for leaf shapes, bird calls and signs of seasonal change. Check the current trail map and closures rather than relying on older routes.

Nosara Centro

Nosara’s inland town center offers a different view of the area from the beach neighborhoods. Community spaces and local gatherings reveal everyday life beyond the surf. Check the current community calendar and respect spaces being used by residents.

Playa Montezuma

The beach beside Montezuma village offers views of the sea, rocky sections and coastal vegetation. Compare its setting with the open-Pacific beaches near Santa Teresa. Follow permitted paths and ask locally about current sea conditions rather than assuming every cove is suitable for swimming.

BarriGuiones Coastal Forest

Along Guiones, the BarriGuiones restoration project shows how coastal woodland can return to formerly cleared land. Notice young trees and established forest from designated paths. Arrange planting or learning activities with Costas Verdes rather than entering restoration plots independently.

Playa Grande – Montezuma

A beach-and-forest walk north of Montezuma leads toward a longer stretch of sand. Plan for the walk out and back, heat and tide conditions. This is Playa Grande near Montezuma, not the beach beside Tamarindo.
