PenĂnsula de Nicoya
Why Go?
Maybe youâve come to the PenĂnsula de Nicoya to sample the sapphire waters that peel left and right, curling into perfect barrels up and down the coast. Or perhaps you just want to hunker down on a pristine patch of sand and soak up some sun. By day, you might ramble down rugged roads, fording rivers and navigating ridges with massive coastal views. By night, you can spy on nesting sea turtles or take a midnight dip in the luxuriant Pacific. In between adventures, youâll find no shortage of boutique bunks, tasty kitchens and indulgent spas to shelter and nourish body and soul. Whether you come for the thrills or just to chill, the Nicoya peninsula delivers. Youâll find that the days (or weeks, or months) drift away on ocean breezes, disappearing all too quickly.
When to Go
A Accommodation rates are lower from May to November. Prices rise significantly during holiday weeks (Christmas, New Year and Easter).
A Peak rainfalls through September and October mean the peninsula is at its most lush; the air isnât nearly as dusty, rivers swell, whales are migrating and prices are cheap.
