Cabuya, Costa Rica

Cabuya Island Cemetery

Cabuya is a small fishing village on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica.[1]

It is located a few miles from the tourist areas of Montezuma and Santa Teresa, and is visited by hikers, surfers and water sports enthusiasts.[2]

The first nature reserve in Costa Rica, Cabo Blanco Reserva is located at Cabuya.[3][4] [5] Near the village is a Yoga retreat.[6][7]

Off the coast is Isla de Cabuya, the Cemetery Island. Cabuya Island is accessible by foot at low tide[8] and dates back to pre-Columbian times. It is still used a burial ground. The reef that surrounds the island is used for fishing and snorkeling.[9]
