Kalapiti Suites
Click for an AMAZING VPIX Virtual Tour of Kalapiti Kalapiti is an amazing, luxury villa operating as a boutique hotel in the Delicias / Montezuma area.

Malpais Tidepool Life – A Rainbow World
A colorful miniature world lives secretly in Malpais, within the tidepools of Mar Azul. Here, a couple dozen tidepools of various sizes offer an incredible array of colorful life, each different than the next. One can’t help but wonder why there’s such diversity from pool to pool, when they’re all very near to each other, […]

Camouflage Insects – Remarkable Bugs that Hide in Plain Sight
This is my collection of photos of amazing insects in Costa Rica that do an incredible job of camouflaging themselves in order to hide. There are several types of camouflage that I’ve seen: Predator Mimicry: Some insects look like other more dangerous ones, or even much larger animals such as an owl or snake. Plant […]
Costa Rica Insectopedia
Costa Rica is known to have over 100,000 species of insects and arachnids, collectively known as BUGS, and we can testify to seeing at least that many types in our house at the beginning of rainy season in May. If you try hard enough, you could probably discover a different insect every day of your […]
Night Life Photo Gallery

A dozen restaurants and many shops are jammed into a small area, all open late with lots of color and activity. The bars are open and groups of people will be […]
Costa Rica Orchids
Costa Rica is famous for its more than 1400 species of orchids. The Southern Nicoya Peninsula area is composed mainly of dry forest, most of which was chopped down in the early 20’s and 30’s, wreaking havoc on the flora and fauna of the area. Thankfully, the tree chopping didn’t extend into the depths of […]
Reptile Photos
Montezuma and Santa Teresa are known for their high biological diversity. The area has many national parks that are connected with relatively undeveloped tracts of jungle, so the animals have a lot of habitat. The weather here isn’t as dry as farther north, such as in Nosara or Tamarindo, which creates a climate more suitable […]
Mushroom Photo Gallery
At some point, I started taking photos of mushrooms when I saw them around the area, and have now become very excited to find new species. It’s like an easter egg hunt… and you never know what you might find. I have no idea how many species are native to the area. Montezuma/Cabuya has a […]

Great Stuff
Clandestina Restaurant
My new favorite restaurant, Clandestina is not to be missed by food lovers staying anywhere near to Montezuma. Established in March 2015, Clandestina is the new kid on the block. The Oregon/Tico collaboration is a winner among locals and travelers alike, with artisan craft beers, made onsite by Butterfly Brewing Co. and delicious, exciting […]
