Plan your visit BEFORE YOU GO
Plan your Tamarindo visit
Allow 1-2d for the curated visit, then add the approach and return.
This is a source visit allowance, not a transfer-inclusive schedule or current admission quote.
Plan the approach
The saved Pacific route stays around Tamarindo and does not require a ferry. A southern Nicoya detour needs its own road or Puntarenas–Paquera ferry plan.

Leave room for the main experience
Choose your beach before your hotel. Do not use the collection name Nicoya as the location of every property.
