The following article talks about the adventures and activities of the Nicoya Peninsula. It’s activities that I have highlighted and recommended to others and have talked about on this blog. They talk about Curu National Park, snorkeling, monkeys, waterfall in Montezuma, and the surf in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa.
There’s two ways to get to the Nicoya Peninsula. The fastest is taking Sansa or Nature Air that fly’s direct into Tambor…roughly a 25 minute flight. If you fly into the San Jose airport the Sansa terminal is just around the corner. If you are traveling light it’s an easy walk even though you will be bombarded by transportation options. Nature Air requires a shuttle or taxi. The other way I like to travel if I have time is by car. It’s more of an adventure but if you map it out the journey can be just as much fun as the destination. If you rent a car the basic insurance is mandatory so get it…I know this is different in the United States. Once you arrive on the Nicoya Peninsula and see the shape of some of the roads you will be glad to know that the car is covered! Also, make sure your vehicle has 4×4!
Enjoy, safe travels, and watch out for the cows in the road
