Detailed Road Map of
Hojancha Costa Rica
The municipalidad of Hojancha is a quaint little town on the Nicoya Peninsula.
Its economy is primarily based on government services and shopping for area
residents.
The only beach area within Hojancha Canton is Playa Carrillo. The neighboring Samara Beach is in Nicoya Canton.
Playa Carrillo is a picturesque horse-shoe shaped beach lined with palm trees
and soft white sand. The grass runway airport at Carrillo is right at the
beach, giving tourists a feeling of landing on the beach, and a vacation
memory that is unforgettable.
The majority of the mountainous countryside of Hojancha Canton is used for
agriculture, much of it being huge teak plantations. The nacientes, or natural
springs, that are born in these mountains, are very important water supplies
for the Nicoya Peninsula. One of these is the headwaters of the Nosara River,
which is protected by the Monte Alto Forest Reserve and Nosara Protected
Zone in Hojancha.
