Touring in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Santa Teresa offers a variety of touring options from a day visit to Isla Tortuga to a half a day tour to Montezuma which is less than a 30 minute drive from the hotel. Our front desk will provide details and arrange any tour that you may be interested in exploring.

Isla Tortuga: Isla Tortuga, situated off the coast, is a tropical paradise renowned for its pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The island offers visitors a chance to indulge in snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life, or simply relax under swaying palm trees while enjoying the serene beauty of the Pacific Ocean. It’s an ideal destination for those seeking both adventure and relaxation in a picture-perfect tropical setting.

Bioluminescence: One of the most enchanting natural phenomena to experience near Santa Teresa is bioluminescence. As night falls, microscopic organisms in the water emit a mesmerizing blue-green glow, creating a magical spectacle as the waves shimmer and sparkle with every movement. Kayaking or taking a boat tour through bioluminescent waters offers a unique opportunity to witness this breathtaking display of nature’s luminescent beauty, making for an unforgettable nocturnal adventure.

Visiting Montezuma Waterfalls: Just a short drive from Santa Teresa lies Montezuma, home to a series of stunning waterfalls cascading through lush jungle terrain. A hike through the verdant forest leads to these majestic falls, where visitors can swim in cool, refreshing pools beneath the rushing water or simply relax amidst the serene natural surroundings. The combination of dramatic waterfalls, scenic hiking trails, and abundant wildlife makes Montezuma Waterfalls a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Chocolate Makers in Montezuma: Montezuma is not only known for its natural beauty but also for its artisanal chocolate makers who craft delicious treats from locally sourced cacao beans. Visitors can tour small chocolate factories to learn about the bean-to-bar process, from harvesting and fermenting cacao pods to grinding and molding chocolate into delectable bars and truffles. Tastings allow visitors to savor the rich flavors and aromas of Costa Rican chocolate while gaining insight into the sustainable practices that support local communities.
