Nosara was everything I expected it to be, but a little more booshie than I thought. It was definitely a touristy place, with a lot of Americans who either escape or buy property and retire there. A lot of surfing and yoga vibes. Definintely more posh with the types of hotels and houses around -went on a run and saw a lot of nice modern well-kept places. As well as the restaurants, seems to be getting bigger and more expensive than it might have been 5-10 years ago. Well, that's what I've been told from many older people I've met along the way - that the prices have drastically increased over the past 10 years. Probably due to social media, word-of-mouth and just the environmental aspect of the entire country. Costa Rica plans to be the first pastic/carbon free country by 2022 - to save nature and the vast biodiversity the jungle has to offer.
