Activities in and Around Nosara
We can organize all activities before your arrival, or once you are at Villa Mango.
Costa Rica, a true oasis of peace, is counted among the most beautiful of all holiday destinations. Mile upon mile of almost deserted sandy beaches stretch along the Pacific coastline, and the ever-green tropical dry forest provides shelter for a variety of flora and fauna. The abundance of species, a natural diversity, exceeds all records of the world.
The climate on the Nicoya Peninsula is characterized by a steady, year-round temperature of between 77° and 95° F (25° and 32° C).

THE BEACHES OF PELADA AND GUIONES
Unspoiled tropical beauty is what best describes Nosara. Imagine miles upon miles of spectacular white sand beaches. This is where the very best of Costa Rica comes alive: stunning sunsets, one of the largest nesting grounds in the world for the Olive Ridley turtle, the sunniest and clearest skies in the country, birds, iguanas, monkeys - a naturalist's haven.
Explore the jungle trails, surf in any of several world class breaks, swim in gentle coves, comb the beach for an infinite variety of shells, play in fisherman's paradise, relax in a hammock surrounded by tropical jungle where monkeys play in the trees and parrots, toucans, wild orchids, bromeliads and other exotic plants and wildlife abound.

TURTLE NESTING IN OSTIONAL
The beach of Ostional is world famous for its "Arribadas," huge Olive Ridley turtles egg laying seasons. The nesting beach can be covered with thousands of turtles during an "arribada". Although some believe that "arribadas" may be correlated with moon phases and tides, there are turtles laying eggs at Ostional Beach throughout most of the year. And if you are lucky, you can also witness the hatching of the eggs, when cute baby turtles struggle to reach the water and continue the species. For more info, see the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge website.
