Costa Rica South Pacific title Costa Rica South Pacific map

In the South Pacific region, there are two main developed tourist areas: Drake Bay, and the Southern part of the Osa Peninsula. Both are accessible, only, by local flights, boat rides, ground transfers and sometimes walking.


Stretching from the highest point of the country, Mount Chirripo and the Amistad National Park on the continental divide’s mountainous border, to the Corcovado National Park and the Osa Peninsula, the Southern Region has the highest percentage of land devoted to national parks and forest reserves, with the greatest biodiversity of any region in the country.


A remote area with pristine forests and wonderful eco-tourism opportunities, the South Pacific also offers great deep-sea fishing and diving; this region serves out gigantic portions of adventure and nature.
