| The popular beach resort of Montezuma lies
some 25km southwest of Paquera, near the southwestern tip
of the Nicoya Peninsula.
Some twenty-five years ago a handful of foreigners fell in
love with the place and settled here. Then it was just a
fishing village,
largely cut off from the rest of the country; nowadays it's
definitely been discovered: lights twinkle, and music pours
out of restaurants
and bars peopled by tatooed boys and batik-clad girls.
What brings everyone here is the astounding beauty of the
setting. Montezuma and the coast south to Cabo Blanco feature
some of the loveliest coastline in the country: white sand,
dotted with jutting rocks and leaning palms, and backed
by lush greenery, including rare Pacific lowland tropical
