South Pacific Costa Rica

The South Pacific is one of the wildest and least visited regions in Costa Rica. The area is covered in rainforest that extends to some of the most beautiful beaches one could imagine. The zone starts to the north at Dominical which is a fun little surf village with dirt roads and a lot of character. Uvita, to the south of Dominical, is the main entrance to Marino Ballena National Park which is home to spectacularly beautiful beaches and also a major breeding zone for Humpback whales during a few months every year. The Osa Peninsula is home to Corcovado National Park, which is one of the most biologically intense areas in the world. Drake Bay and Puerto Jimenez are the best home bases for accessing the park, though most prefer Drake for the amazing beaches, access to Cano Island and nicer lodges.
