The Nicoya Peninsula is full of natural beauty, and it maintains equally rich biodiversity. Dominated by mountainous terrain, the once volcanic landscape is now sheathed by dry and wet tropical forest. Wildlife lovers delight in what the Nicoya Region has to offer. Its National Parks and reserves include: Barra Honda, Marino Las Baulas, Vida Silvestre Curu, and Cabo Blanco.

The beaches here are truly pristine with white sands and a combination of rough waves and swimming coves protected by natural rock formations. The restaurant and hotel life is just beginning to bud here, and nearly all the local residents have share a keen sense of sustainability and living in harmony with the natural surroundings. With arguably the most beautiful scenery in the country, with iguanas and monkeys roaming the streets and trees, it is easy to understand why.

Elegant, luxurious accommodations can be found at boutique hotels such as Harmony, L'acqua Viva and The Sanctuary Resort. Hotel Punta Islita, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is renowned as perhaps the country's top honeymoon destination on the beach.
