La Península de Nicoya

Malpaís-Santa Teresa

La Península de Nicoya


Esta maravillosa playa se caracteriza por ser un paraíso en el surf, de hecho, el surf es excepcional, proporcionando constantemente oleadas sorprendentes. Situado a 6,5 km al norte del Parque Nacional Cabo Blanco, Malpaís se encuentra en el suroeste de la Península de Nicoya, frente a Montezuma. Si la Península de Nicoya se considera tranquila, entonces Malpaís es un lugar excelente para descansar y pasar un momento sumamente relajante.


La playa de Malpaís esta compuesta por parches de arena y roca, la selva baja hacia  la costa. Esta área es excelente para disfrutar de increíbles ambientes naturales en relativa paz  ya que esta a la disposición canopy tours y cabalgatas en toda la playa.

Lamentablemente, El Parque Nacional Cabo Blanco no es accesible desde la carretera que conduce al sur de Malpaís. Por lo general, para hacer una visita al parque es necesario atravesar Montezuma. Existe otro camino más cerca, pero a menudo esta en mal estado. Antes de salir hacia el parque consúltele a alguna persona local acerca del camino.

Malpaís ha sido librado en gran medida del desarrollo que ocurre al norte en torno a las playas de Santa Teresa. Este pueblo tranquilo ofrece una gran oportunidad para los visitantes que desean descansar y tener un momento de paz alejado de las ciudades más bulliciosas y donde hay gran cantidad de personas. El pueblo de Malpaís refleja esta actitud general y, por tanto, ofrece pocos servicios en cuanto a las actividades.

La aldea es accesible por carretera desde la autopista 160, o bien puede optar por tomar el ferry desde Puntarenas a Paquera o Playa Naranjo y a continuación en vehículo o en autobús el resto del camino. También hay vuelos al cercano pueblo de Tambor desde San José y Liberia.

"Very much for the younger generation - lots of surfers. Although it was busy I don't think it was as busy as it normally is. Would like to spend some more time exploring this area." Visited in Jan 2011


"We loved Mal Pais. It's a little off-the-beaten path but with a good selection of restaurants. Good for couples or young adults. Perfect for surfers & yoga types. May be a bit rugged with serious waves that may be a bit too much for families. " Visited in Dec 2010

"We loved the area. It was very calm and laid back but still there were so many great restaurants and all the meals we ate were delicious." Visited in Jul 2011

"Another great spot. Lots of surfing, restaurants and monkeys!" Visited in Aug 2011

"Love Santa Teresa! Not busy at all. Most of the restaurants were closed because it wasn't the tourist season but we didn't mind. Beautiful beaches!!! ATV rental was great so we could explore the area. Montezuma is a fun day trip to check out the waterfall. " Visited in Oct 2011

"A little on the unbeaten path, but well worth the extra drive. This is what we were looking for. I definitely would recommend." Visited in Nov 2011

"This was the perfect place! Thanks so much for sending me here for surfing. I love this town and can't wait to go back!" Visited in Jan 2012

"Not many native Ticos in Mal Pais. We met "locals" from France, Portugal, Spain, Palestine, etc. It is a very culturally diverse area and that in itself made it interesting. The surfing was amazing and renting a board with lessons included was very reasonable. we discovered liters of Imperial in Malpais. Nice!" Visited in Mar 2012

"Very laid back beach town...we went with 20 friends....very dusty roads if you choose to walk anywhere. Only one ATM which is located in town. Next time we go we will stay in Mal Pais the whole time! " Visited in Feb 2012

"A bit of a cultural surprise and the drive was tough but once acclimatized we loved the area and will go back to the region." Visited in Mar 2012
