"Santa Teresa is also a known hot-spot for nomads and backpackers. This cute little town is known for the amazing surfing and yoga retreats. Santa Teresa is a quieter town with less parties than Tamarindo and gives more of a family vibe. The main transportation form here is ATVs / 4x4s, which are available for rent in numerous spots. This city runs roughly 15 blocks as well meaning it is also a great walkable destination if you aren't looking to rent transportation.
Santa Teresa is also known for its Saturday night Jungle Raves which is tricky to find due to the fact that its invite by word of mouth. You must be-friend a taxi driver on Saturday during the day, and call them at night and use the words "Jungle rave" to have them take you there.
Montezuma is Santa Teresa Neighboring town which offers amazing hikes with waterfalls, swimming holes, and mountain views. This is great for a day trip or even a few days to stay. "

"Conveniently in the middle of town where you can chill for a few hours. Follow the small dirt path in front of El Facon Grill & Bar.
