Extending over 130 kilometers from Punta Conejo in the north to the Baru River in the south, the Central Pacific Zone features exotic beaches, seaside villages and picturesque towns interspersed amid intimate coves and scenic bays.
The region’s main attractions are its unspoiled beaches and protected wilderness areas which, in some cases, are less than two hours from San José, allowing for quick access. Wilderness areas include wildlife refuges, national parks and biological preserves. The area’s close proximity to the Central Valley makes it ideal for organizing sporting events, as well as cultural and recreational activities.
Also worthy of note is the scenic beauty along the coastal highway that connects the Caldera area with the Quepos and Manuel Antonio regions.
Visitors will find an abundance of accommodation options that include everything from all-inclusive mega-resorts and luxurious hilltop hotels to romantic hideaways and various budget offerings. The Quepos and Manuel Antonio areas are characterized by upscale, stylish accommodations while further south in Dominical visitors will encounter small secluded cabins and hotels.
