Ontdek het fascinerende verleden van Nosara en ontdek hoe het zich door de eeuwen heen heeft ontwikkeld.
The region was originally inhabited by the indigenous Chorotega people, farmers and skilled artisans of polychrome ceramics and jade who lived in close harmony with the cycles of the ocean and the estuaries of the Nosara and Montaña rivers.
In the 1970s, an innovative urban project led by American investors (the 'Nosara Civic Association Project') established pioneering zoning regulations: construction was prohibited within 200 meters of the high tide line and protected biological corridors were created to preserve the coastal rainforest.
Become a benchmark for barefoot luxury ecotourism, Nosara attracts surfers, yogis, families and digital nomads from around the world, standing out for its strict commitment to marine conservation, clean energy and an organic lifestyle.
