Why Fly to Montezuma

  • Save Precious Vacation Time


    When you’re on vacation, every moment counts. Flying to Montezuma takes just 30-40 minutes compared to 3-4 hours of driving, giving you more time to enjoy the beaches, wildlife, and experiences that brought you here.
  • Skip the Road Challenges


    Costa Rica’s roads face constant challenges from tropical weather – intense rains, high temperatures, and frequent flooding create potholes and difficult driving conditions. Even main highways can be slow-going with heavy truck traffic and challenging terrain.
  • Navigate with Ease


    Costa Rica’s rural areas have limited road signage, making navigation challenging for visitors. Getting lost costs valuable vacation time and creates unnecessary stress when you could be relaxing at Hotel nYa.
  • Travel Safely


    Flying eliminates concerns about landslides, flooding, and challenging mountain roads, especially during rainy season. Modern aircraft and experienced pilots ensure safe, comfortable travel in all weather conditions.
