Seven days in one of the five
The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world's five Blue Zones. This journey takes that seriously — movement, food, sleep and the people who live it, rather than a spa menu.
Day by day
1
Light aircraft to Nosara, and an early supper.
2
Movement at sunrise, then a long breakfast and nothing urgent.
3
Market, then cooking with a local family — beans, maize, squash, and the diet as actually eaten.
4
Hills behind the coast, a working farm, and the centenarians who are not a marketing device.
5
Sea in the morning, river in the afternoon.
6
Unscheduled by design.
7
Back to San José, or onward.
