Manuel Antonio & the central pacific coast
This region extends from Carara National Park and Tarcoles river, southwards to Uvita and the Terraba-Sierpe wetlands, and while Manuel Antonio National Park is the most known of the protected areas in the central pacific lowlands, there is so much more to see and do while visiting this area of Costa Rica.
This region has hills, valleys, rivers, and an exuberant rainforest that merges with the Pacific Ocean, creating an array of ecosystems ideal for ecotourists, adventure seekers or relaxation devotees. This area counts with plenty of white sand beaches bathed by turquoise waters, nature observation on its rainforest is unrivaled and rivers coming down from the Talamanca mountain range create crystal blue waterfalls.
For those looking for adventure sports, the waves in Dominical and Uvita will challenge their skills, and the Savegre river will quench the thirst of those looking for white water rafting. Fishing enthusiasts will find world-class inshore and offshore fishing in the tropical waters of Quepos, accessible from Marina Pez Vela. In this fishing grounds the daily catches include species such as: Yellow fin tuna, Cubera Snapper, Grouper, Snook, Dorado, Rooster, Blue Marlin and Sailfish.
