Vast tropical jungles, abundant wildlife and incredible marine diversity characterize the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica.
The Southern Pacific coast is famous for it’s natural diversity, world class sports fishing, endless beaches, scuba diving, ancient stone spheres and maybe one of the best surf spots on the planet.

This area is one of Costa Rica’s final frontiers. The Osa Peninsula, Talamanca Mountain Range and Golfo Dulce are the premier natural wonders in this area.
The Southern Pacific region remains virtually untouched by large scale tourism. There are a handful of fabulous destinations and tour operators throughout the region. Sierpe, Drake Bay, Golfito, Zancudo and Pavones are the main towns in the area and there are a variety of activities, hotels and restaurants to choose from. Golfito is the largest city in the area and because of the small airport, most Southern Pacific vacations begin there.
