SOUTH PACIFIC

The South Pacific offers large masses of humid tropical forest that harbour unique species of the planet, an abundant marine diversity, the highest peak in the country, an indigenous legacy that holds mysteries as captivating as the Pre-Colombian stone spheres and ancient cultures that still today conserve their traditions.

Its distance from the Central Valley makes of this area one of the country's last frontiers of development, allowing the conservation of important forests such as Corcovado National Park.

The region is also home to the country's largest swamp extension, the wetlands of Sierpe-Térraba, of great scenic beauty; and Golfo Dulce, which scientists consider a unique true tropical fjord adding to its fauna and flora diversity.
