Montezuma Weekend


From San Jose- Costa Rica we took our first trip weekend trip outside the city and to the beaches of Montezuma. Taking 2 buses and furry, the trip was well worth it, as we witness the nature and beauty of the country. We arrived around 8pm at night. Taking a total of 6 hours from the city, it wasn´t a walk in the park, being tried and hungry, but our excitement and anticipation killed all that . We found a nice setting by the beach, going for only 10$ a night, it was a cheap and convenient place to stay, especially with meals included. With the view over looking the beach, we couldn´t have asked for more. The hostel was fairly small, but good for the price we were paying for. Not to mention the meals included in our deal . Montezuma is a fairly small place, compared to the size of a street block, but everything was accessible and easy to get to. The place had it all, waterfalls, which was amazing to see. It was a wonderful experience. ATVs if you wanted to ride around, scooping out the country side.not to mention, the bars, restaurants, shopping, and the mini stores where you can buy souvenirs for your friends and love ones. The locals of Montezuma were friendly and very open to the fact tourist where visiting their area. The vibes were really laid back and chill and I for one had the opportunity to go a little crazy, when I went to a local club, they played and dance reggae music. The locals were entertained, as my friend Rohan and I put on a dancing display. We had the locals in a dancing frenzy.During the night everyone came out to enjoy themselves. During the day mostly everyone lived at the beach hammocks were set up to relax and the ocean waves were crashing down if you wanted to surf. The water was extremely cool and refreshing if you wanted to go swimming. The lasting impression I of going to Montezuma was gorgeous view of the waterfalls, my friends and I hiked a trail to the waterfalls. Once you arrived there, the view was mesmerizing and we took the opportunity to enjoy the view. I recommend to anyone when you come to Montezuma to go there, because the beaches are a god place to escape the madness of sirens and smog, and just relax and observe the sunset. The atmosphere is nice and the vibes is extremely laid back, if your looking for a place where you can have some good R&R.
