Casa Tucan is nestled in the quiet, quaint town of Nosara in the Guanacaste Province on the Pacific side of the country of Costa Rica. Unlike the crowded towns of places like Tamarindo, Jaco, or Dominical, in Nosara you won’t be trampled by hordes of tourists. In Nosara…you are truly in the jungle, and you’ll realize it when you awaken in the morning to the Howler monkeys stretching their vocal chords in the distance.
The allure of Nosara lies in the designation of our beach, Playa Guiones, and the surrounding area as a wildlife refuge, protected from development of any kind. Nosara is truly “where the jungle meets the beach!”
Casa Tucan is approximately 30 miles off the main paved road. That helps keep traffic down while enjoying all the necessary amenities. Telephones, internet, ATM/ Bank, DirectTV, hot water and electricity are the norm. There’s a doctor in town as well as a large hospital in Nicoya, just 60 minutes away. What makes Casa Tucan’s location so special? You are close to multiple waterfalls, Ostional – the Sea Turtles nesting sanctuary, world class deep sea fishing, and so many other amazing activities. Nosara is also home to a very large yoga community including The Nosara Yoga Institute, Omega Yoga. The Blue Spirit among just a few. If yoga and surfing are your thing there is no better place to visit.
In Nosara, everything slows down so you can unwind, relax and enjoy the “pura vida” lifestyle.
There is plenty of cultural diversity and likewise, an abundance of ethnically influenced eateries: French, German, Italian and American to balance the local fare. Playa Guiones (3 minute walk from the Casa Tucan) is a four-mile-long, white sand, crescent moon bay, and it’s perfect for peacful morning jogs, shell-hunting, football, soccer, Frisbee, or a long relaxing walk to take in the jungle scenery.
