Tierra Magnifica

Location and Directions
Costa Rica is located in Central America, between Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south. It has become a popular and exciting destination in the past years due to its safety, accessibility, affordability, economic and political stability. It's biggest draw is its enlightened approach to environmental conservation, which preserves the legendary natural beauty of the country, including the rain forests, tropical beaches and amazingly diverse plant and animal wildlife.

More than a quarter of the country's land area is protected by the government and there are more than 25 national parks in this nation that is approximately half the size of the state of Kentucky. There are few other countries that offer such a diversity of scenery, climate or flora and fauna. A year-round temperate climate, access to both the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean and friendly, welcoming locals cap off its appeal.
Tierra Magnifica is located on the Nicoya Peninsula in the northwestern region of Costa Rica in the town of Nosara, an authentic Costa Rican village with friendly locals ready to assist you and help you enjoy your stay. In a country known for its enlightened approach to conservation, Nosara is one of the most enlightened villages. In addition to the requisite- 200 meters from the water - of country-wide government-designated environmental protection zone, there's an additional 50 meters of protected mangrove land. This keeps the beach front free of development, creating untouched, pristine beaches that are sparsely populated, even at high season. This and the surfer town atmosphere provide a laid-back, relaxed experience.
International Airports
International visitors have a choice of two international airports from which to choose:
  • San Jose's Juan Santamaria International Airport is the nation's largest. From here you can get to Nosara by either a 4.5-hour drive or by taking a scenic 40-minute flight right into Nosara's airport.
  • Liberia's Daniel Oduber International airport is about a 2.5-hour drive from Nosara.
