Provincia Puntarenas Must-Sees

Provincia Puntarenas encompasses Costa Rica's diverse Pacific coastline, stretching from the Nicoya Peninsula to the biodiverse Osa Peninsula. The region features the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and Corcovado National Park, which protects 2.5% of the world's biodiversity. It preserves pre-Columbian history through the Diquís stone spheres and protects marine life at Marino Ballena National Park, known for its natural tombolo formation. Coastal highlights include the white sand beaches of Manuel Antonio and the multi-tiered Nauyaca Waterfalls.
