The Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica is a narrow strip of coastal land distinguished by impressive small mountain ranges that meet up with the Pacific Ocean.  Sandy beaches and protected wildlife are two primary draws to this area. The magnificent beaches, flanked by spectacular cliffs, create an awe-inspiring landscape; and with its combination of ocean panorama and lush tropical vegetation, Costa Rica’s Central Pacific has views unlike any other.

The temperatures average 30ºC (86ºF) during the dry season and a little lower during the rainy months. The area generally maintains a pleasant coastal climate; nevertheless, bring a rain jacket, as showers in the tropics are always a possibility. 

The availability of high-class hotels and resorts and its proximity to the San Jose Airport (1hr30min), make it an ideal destination for programs on the coast but still close to the city, or to combine the stay with other local destinations.
