Montezuma Area, Costa Rica - Sunday Excursions
Welcome to Montezuma, one of the most beautiful and memorable places in the world. Voted one of the ten most beautiful beaches in Central America by Forbes Magazine, Montezuma’s pristine coasts are sure to dazzle even the most jaded traveler. In addition, 30 minutes away are the beaches of Malpais, voted by the Forbes as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the entire world.
Costa Rica is known throughout the world as an eco-friendly country, whose wildlife thrive, and whose jungles are actually expanding every year due to careful stewardship of the country’s natural resources. Ninety percent of electric power in Costa Rica is generated by renewable sources, such as hydro-electric, wind, and geo-thermal.
During your stay at Shangri-La Bio Spa, you will have the opportunity to experience many amazing adventures. You will see monkeys, parrots, and other animals, and will be given guided tours on Sundays to fantastic places. The tours will sometimes be led personally by Shangri-La’s president, Geoff McCabe, who is eager to show off the country he fell in love with. We are sure that you too will fall in love with Montezuma and Costa Rica.
Below are just a few of the possible Sunday excursions we have in mind for you:
 |
Remote Waterfall Hike
In addition to the famous Montezuma Falls which is right next to our facility, we can visit another impressive waterfall, which is a twenty minute drive from Shangri La, this amazing waterfall is unmarked and rarely visited by tourists. It consists of a long series of pools that drop one into the other, and one large pool with a rope swing. |
Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary
Rainsong is the area’s only wildlife rescue center and a visit to this remarkable place is an unforgettable experience. You will be able to see and possibly even hold various jungle animals rarely seen in the area, such as an anteater, and even a porcupine! Many of the animals were found as babies, and have grown up around people. |

Canopy Tour
Montezuma’s canopy tour zips right past Shangri La on a series of several steel cables. If you’re into adrenaline and action, this is an activity that you’ll love. Perfectly safe, you will find yourself zooming high above the treetops and river below at high speeds, experiencing life as only birds and arboreal creatures usually do. |
Horseback Riding
Montezuma and Costa Rica are famous for their horse culture. The area’s cowboys, and cowgirls, still use horses to round up and move their cattle from pasture to pasture. We will put you on horseback to ride down the beach and visit the remote and undeveloped Playa Grande, Playa Cocolito, and El Chorro waterfall, that pours off a cliff and splashes into the sea. |

Playa Hermosa Beach Excursion
Playa Hermosa simply means “beautiful beach” in Spanish, and it is the most gorgeous one in the area. This is a broad, flat, white sand beach, with perfect waves and a point break. The beach is undeveloped and is picture-perfect with its leaning palms and beach almond trees. Despite its beauty, Playa Hermosa usually has few people enjoying it. |
Water Adventure
Fishing, boating, scuba, and snorkeling are all staples of the Montezuma experience. We can charter a local boat to provide you with an assortment of fun activities in the Costa Rican waters. You may see whales, dolphins, or a sea turtle. Our chef will cook any fish you’re able to catch. |
