Montezuma

Travel Guide

Just catched this satisfying lightened sundown at the beach
Montezuma Beach on New Year's Eve. #BeachBound
These are the Montezuma waterfalls-- and there are two more above this big one that you can jump off! 
Only a 20-30 minute hike up to the top. Be sure let a local show you the longer way around to hike to the 2nd and 3rd falls rather than climb up waterfall itself.
To find them you just go behind the Mariposario bed and breakfast.
Once you're on the way, try to get to the right of the creek- there's a foot trail up the hill a little about 1/3 of the way in.
Great for jumping

Beautiful villas with the most beautiful view. The pool is magical, the patio areas the perfect place to look out on the ocean. The villas themselves are large and comfortable. Kitchens had everything we needed to make a meal. Highly recommend.

We had a stunning view from the villa. It was extremely clean and well cared for. We had everything we needed. My only suggestion would be a bigger mirror in the bathroom for us ladies to get ready with vs the small one there is right now. Fernando was always so helpful with answering any questions ...

We stayed in Montezuma which is actually a small community on the beach a few kilometers from Cobano. Montezuma's biggest surprise, the absolutely wonderful food, fresh ingredients,quite fairly priced, properly prepared and excellent presentation.

Loved the small bohemian aspect; cute and charming town. The waterfall hike was amazing; so many wonderful restaurants & romantic spots for long walks by the beach. Had lunch & healing massage right on the beach-hotel Amor Del Mar (ask for Cecelia)!
