Nosara is known by many as Costa Rica’s “Hidden Gem”. Buffered for many years by unpaved roads, the first settlers to this largely foreign community were truly pioneers. Today, the word about this quaint, picturesque town nestled in the jungle landscape of the Nicoya Peninsula has spread. Cultures from all over the world have flocked to this special place, giving it an international flavor; the restaurants are no exception. Quality and variety reign when it comes to amenities in the Nosara area. Both residents and visitors alike enjoy the balance of local fare and diversion in one of the best ecotourism destinations in Costa Rica.

Guanacaste as a province, with it’s 1 million population, international airport and virtually infinite beaches has become the main driver of Costa Rica’s eco-tourism and real estate investment. However, the Nosara region somehow encompasses as much diversity into its valley and coastline, indicated by such natural wonders as the Ostional Wildlife Refuge, Nosara Biological Reserve and River Basin, amazing sport fishing off Garza Bay and world class surf along Playa Guiones. Increased daily flights to the local airstrip from Liberia and San Jose, in addition to road maintenance will continue to improve access to this once little-known area.
