Dense jungle on one side, soft sand on the other – welcome to the Sendero Verde in Montezuma. Just a short walk brings you to a place that feels as if it has stepped out of a nature fairy tale: Piedra Colorada.
Here, a clear river flows through the forest, forming small waterfalls, sparkling over stones and gathering in natural pools. You hear the rush of the water, the birdsong in the trees – and somewhere nearby, the scent of a freshly packed picnic.
With Viventura, you have time here to swim, marvel and unwind. Colourful stones, stacked into little works of art, tell stories of the creativity of those who visit. A place to linger – and let go.

Swim in the river and the Piedra Colorada waterfall
A place of tranquillity, creativity and connection
Sustainably organised – nature-friendly and respectful
Piedra Colorada is a slightly hidden spot on the coast near Montezuma, on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Its name means “colourful stone” – and indeed, the variety of shades and shapes here is striking. The stones in the riverbed invite you to build, balance and marvel, though a small sign gently reminds visitors: “Please do not take anything – the stones belong to this place.”
The area is protected, yet open to walkers. What makes it special is the blend of calm energy, family-friendly surroundings and natural beauty. For many travellers, this simple picnic becomes one of the quiet highlights of their Costa Rica journey.
