Paquera is located at the most southern tip of the Peninsula Nicoya and is mostly known by travelers as the place where the ferry lands from Puntarenas. The large majority of tourists just drive through Paquera on their way to Montezuma, Santa Teresa or Tambor. 

Paquera has a lot to offer, Tortuga Island, bioluminescence kayak or boat tours, Wildlife refuge Curu and many more beautifull beaches. Its tranquil waters are great for sea kayaking and boating. There a a couple of great marshy mangrove areas, many beautiful beaches that are safe for swimming at any time. There are waterfalls, national parks, and beautiful wildlife reserve islands. The oceans here are teaming with life, so fishing is excellent.

Furthermore, Paquera is well known as a producer of many fruits and vegetables due to the climate and ideal location along the waterfront. The best part, for many, is that the influence of foreign tourists is much less here, so you will get much more of a feeling of the authentic “real” Costa Rica and you are able to experience the true Tico living here. 

So, why not check out this wonderful part of the Southern Nicoya Peninsula!
