Why stay in Cabuya instead of Montezuma

Cabuya is the next village over: greener, quieter, and without the crowds of central Montezuma. You’re in the middle of the village but away from the noise — local restaurants 50 metres away, the supermarket 100.

Mornings start with howler monkeys in the trees rather than engines. And everything that drew you to Montezuma is still a short drive away.
