The Peninsula of Nicoya and Help to Understand What Really Awaits You, When You Choose to Live Here NEWSLETTER 12/2018 Dear friends and followers, This time we would like to present the Peninsula of Nicoya and help to understand what really awaits you, when you choose to live here. Try out your personal Peninsula “checklist” below. Of course we also show some of our best real estate opportunities in the area. Do not hesitate to contact us, even if you don’t find the 100% match. We usually have more alternatives than the ones published. Thank you for following us and hope to keep you interested in Costa Rica and its fantastic way of living. We wish you a good start and a successful year 2019! Your CostaRica-Immo Team The Peninsula of Nicoya The Nicoya Peninsula is the largest of Costa Rica, bathed by the Pacific Ocean, bounded by the Gulf of Papagayo to the north and Nicoya to the south. On its large coast line you can find beaches of fine and gray sands, cliffs, deserted bays, estuaries and many more. Dense tropical vegetation alternates with cattle grazing on hilly farmland. It has some of the most isolated and beautiful beaches, several national parks and a longer summer season, making it one of the most popular tourist destinations. The Peninsula is still kind of a remote paradise in many parts, although there are some well-known and busier spots like Tamarindo or Samara. But most areas – especially in the south -are still dominated by rural mountain hamlets or sleepy villages dispersed on the natural and unspoilt coast. You can find a small place to eat and a mini super for emergency purchases in most of the villages, but don’t count on a wide choice of restaurants, a gas station or an international school next door. If you need buzzling nightlife, paved roads or landline internet access, you better think twice! On the other hand you will be overwhelmed by the tranquility and peace of nature, the awesome colors of a dry rainforest and undisturbed nature. Life in the Peninsula is an incredible way to go back to the roots, live and enjoy a wonderful place with an extraordinary privacy. You will find yourself in the middle of an exotic flora and fauna, between coffee and citrus farms, local people on horseback, howler monkeys waking you at sunrise. Live your life in sync with the dry and wet season. Enjoy 5 months of almost cloudless blue sky and heavy rainfalls in September and October. This is the perfect place to leave the world behind. 100 acre Private Nature Retreat main house plus guest house in a 40.5 ha natural paradise extensive trail system with wonderful Pacific views located in the mountains of the Peninsula of Nicoya close to the beaches More… 875.000 USD Your personal Peninsula “checklist” you like the summer heat (with a cooling breeze you need at least 2 Sushi restaurants around in the mountains) the corner you don’t mind taking a 40 minute ride to the you mind a 2.5 hour drive to the nearest nearest town with a large supermarket international airport you’re a nature freak you are absolutely sure, you hate gravel roads you have nothing against 4x4 and offroad and this will never change vehicles you just can’t give up some of the 1st world you like to live your life equally with warm- “amenities” hearted Ticos and only a small expat community you think that public water is healthier than you love to look at a dark sky full of millions of natural spring water stars at night you NEVER want to see a snake or scorpion in you like to grow your own food on your own the wild finca you are not willing to learn a few words of Spanish to get along 57 acres (23ha) finca with great ocean view great sunset view over the Pacific ocean 4 construction sites ready to be built water, electricity available located halfway between the southern tip de Nicoya Peninsula and Samara rare opportunity!

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We present a new model to explain the origin, emplacement and stratigraphy of the Nicoya Complex in the NW part of the Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica) based on twenty-five years of field work, accompanied with the evo- lution of geochemical, vulcanological, petrological, sedimentological and paleontological paradigms. The igneous-sedimentary relation, together with radiolarian biochronology of the NW-Nicoya Peninsula is re-exa- mined. We interpret the Nicoya Complex as a cross-section of a fragment of the Late Cretaceous Caribbean Plateau, in which the deepest levels are exposed in the NW-Nicoya Peninsula.

  • Deep Sea Drilling Project Initial Reports Volume 84
    37. A TECTONIC CROSS-SECTION OF THE COSTA RICAN PACIFIC LITTORAL AS A KEY TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE LANDWARD SLOPE OF THE MIDDLE AMERICA TRENCH OFF GUATEMALA1 Jacques Azema, Jacques Bourgois, Peter O. Baumgartner, Jean Tournon, Alain Desmet, and Jean Aubouin2 ABSTRACT Pre-upper Senonian basement of Costa Rica crops out in the Santa Elena and Nicoya peninsulas. From south to north and from base to top the basement includes the Esperanza, Matapalo, and Santa Elena units. The Esperanza unit is Albian-Santonian in age and consists mainly of pillow basalt and massive basalt flows. The Matapalo unit includes Callovian-Cenomanian radiolarite and exhibits a massive basalt flow, pillow basalt, and dolerite basement. The Santa Elena unit contains ultramafic and mafic rocks in which harzburgite is the major component. The most important tec- tonic features of the Nicoya Complex are the large Santa Elena and Matapalo nappes. Nappe emplacement was from north to south during late Santonian time. The sedimentary cover of the Nicoya Complex comprises (1) the Campanian El Viejo Formation, which consists of shallow-water sediments to the north on Santa Elena Peninsula and the Campa- nian-Maestrichtian Sabana Grande Formation of deep-water origin to the south on Nicoya Peninsula; (2) Paleocene sediments, which indicate deposition in a deep-water environment and which comprise the Rivas, Las Palmas, and Samara formations; and (3) post-upper Eocene(?) sediments, which consist of the shallow-water Barra Honda and Montezuma formations. Two unconformities are the major geologic features of the upper Senonian-Tertiary sequence of Costa Rica. The lower one is at the base of the Sabana Grande Formation and marks a major change in the geologic conditions (basalt is scarce in the Campanian-Tertiary series); the upper unconformity at the base of the Barra Honda and Montezuma formations is not as pronounced as the lower one.
