Cerro La Cruz Protected Zone
Nature preserve
👍👍 My favourite thing to do in Nicoya! So peaceful and serene. I walked from the Super Compro, past the stadium, into the forest, got to a ranch in the middle of nowhere, and then turned around. Total trip time was 3 hours. The weather was cool in the morning with a nice breeze and there were about eig...

Restaurante La Fula
Restaurant
👍👍 We love this place. It is family owned and they have an enormous pizza oven. I took off 1 star for atmosphere because it is not high end. Instead, it is easy breezy.

Plaza de los Mangos
Park
👍👍 Finally got to enjoy a crazy night at a rodeo in Santa Cruz. Reminded me of my youth while in Tijuana, Mexico back in-the 80’s. This is where local thrill seekers run around toying with 2000 lbs explosively angry bulls. Not to mention, the locals casually text, chat & drink beer while they sta...
