Montezuma is a small fishing village in the lower part of the Nicoya Peninsula.

The village has become a mixture of local "ticos" and an increasing community of Europeans and Americans that had found the place enchanting. Some have stayed permanently, creating interesting community of artists, conservationists, musicians, surfers, and others just looking for adventure or new friends. 

It’s has also become a long-time favourite for backpackers and eco-tourists.

The center of Montezuma consists almost entirely of restaurants, and souvenir shops, and night clubs.

The night life in this small town is very active. Music, from reggae to salsa is played until late in the night.

There is a wide variety of fine dining options in Montezuma. Restaurants serve vegetarian fare, Mediterranean dishes or cutting-edge concoctions in a romantic atmosphere.

Cabuya is just a mere 10 minutes away by car and it is ideal for the traveller that wants to experience all the fuzz of an active night life but stay at a quiet and relaxed place at the same time.
