Montezuma<\/h1>\n

17 kilometers east of Santa Teresa there is a small and colorful town called Montezuma. The town is located between the beach and the river of the same name.
\nIt is a lively place with restaurants, bars, ice cream shops, stores among others. You can see many people walking down the streets, it is the best way to move over town since the streets are narrow and the transit can be slow.
\nAlso, there are tour operators who offer a taxi boat to Jaco beach and tours to Isla Tortuga.<\/p>\n

The beach is a little rocky but good enough to surf or swim. There are trees near the beach, hence you can find some people camping.
\nThe sea turtle uses Montezuma as a nesting place. Because of this, a non-profit organization operates in Montezuma purely on voluntary work to protect the turtle eggs and help the baby turtles to get to the sea once they hatch. Do not expect turtles to be there just because you want to. You have to stay there the whole year or just be lucky enough to pass by in hatching season.<\/p>\n
