Mal Pais Travel Info

Not so long ago, the neighbouring towns of Mal Pais and Santa Teresa on Costa Rica´s southern Nicoya Peninsula were little more than sleepy surfer´s hangouts.

Lots of shirtless foreign males flocked here to smoke weed, ride the waves and eat pot-fulls of pasta (usually in that order). They were living out the surfer dude dream on a rock-bottom budget.
