Playa Montezuma

My 2.5 week stay in Montezuma during October 2019 was nothing short of enchanting. This charming village boasts of friendly locals who are always ready to lend a helping hand. The small community is home to skilled artisans who line the streets, showcasing their craft. The sense of togetherness is palpable, with everyone eager to assist each other. I made it a daily ritual to indulge in the delectable ice cream parlor, a true highlight of my trip. The beach is nothing short of stunning, with pristine waters and soft sand. The turtle conservation center located here is a true gem. I was fortunate enough to volunteer at the center and was blown away by their dedication to keeping the community clean. From the school grounds to the football field and the beach, they left no stone unturned.
