Montezuma

Montezuma is an immediately endearing beach town that demands you abandon the car to stroll, swim and, if you are willing to stroll even further, surf. The warm and wild ocean and that remnant, ever-audible jungle has helped this rocky nook cultivate an inviting, boho vibe. Typical tourist offerings such as canopy tours do a brisk trade here, but you’ll also bump up against Montezuma’s internationally inflected, artsy-rootsy beach culture in yoga classes, volunteer corps, veggie-friendly dining rooms and neo-Rasta’s hawking uplifting herbs. No wonder locals lovingly call this town ‘Montefuma.’ It’s not perfect. The lodging is particularly poor value, and the eateries can be that way too (though there are some absolute gems). But in this barefoot pueblo, which unfurls along several kilometers of rugged coastline, you’re never far from the rhythm and sound of the sea, and that is a beautiful thing.

Sights

Picture-perfect white-sand beaches are strung along the coast, separated by small rocky headlands, offering great beachcombing and ideal tide-pool contemplation. Unfortunately, there are strong riptides, so inquire locally before going for a swim.

The beaches in front of the town are nice enough, but the best beach is just north of Cocolores restaurant, where the sand is powdery and sheltered from big swells. This is your glorious sun-soaked crash pad, and the further northeast you walk the more solitude you’ll find. The water’s shade of teal is immediately nourishing, the temperature is perfect and fish are abundant.

During low tide, the best snorkeling is at Playa Las Manchas, 1km west of downtown.

Montezuma Waterfalls Waterfall (parking US$2) a 40-minute river hike leads to a waterfall with a delicious swimming hole. Further along the trail, a second set of falls offers a good clean 10m leap into deep water. (Reach the ‘diving platform’ from the trail: do not try to scale the slippery rocks!) Daring souls can test their Tarzan skills on the rope that swings over a third set. A lot of travelers enjoy these thrills but a few of them have died; do it at your own risk.

As you head south past Hotel La Cascada, there’s a parking area, then take the trail to the right just after the bridge.

Montezuma Gardens Gardens (Tel 8888-4200, 2642-1317; www.montezumagardens.com; adult/student/child US$8/6/4; h 8am4pm) About 1km south of town, alongside the waterfall trail, you can take a tour through this lush mariposario (butterfly garden) and nursery where the mysterious metamorphoses occur. You’ll learn about the life cycles and benefits of a dozen local species, of which you’ll see many colorful varieties. There’s also a B&B here (rooms US$57 to US$80).

Playa Grande BEACH About 7km north of town, Playa Grande is the best surf beach in the area. It’s a 3kmplus stretch of waves and sand, which doesn’t get too crowded, as it requires a 30-minute hike to get here. But what a hike it is, wandering along between the turquoise waters of the Pacific and the lush greenery of the Montezuma Biological Reserve.

Because of the town’s carefree boho feel, topless and (sometimes) nude sunbathing has become de rigueur on some beaches, especially Playa Grande. Be aware that many residents find this disrespectful so please be discreet.
