Puntarenas is one of the most important tourist regions of Costa Rica. Its coasts are decked by plenty of islands, inlets, beaches and beautiful natural treasures, which make Puntarenas a tourist destiny by excellence. Its territory offers a wide range of attractions supported by the sun and the beach, which are complemented with protected zones, continental and insular areas. The northern region also comprises the islands in the Gulf of Nicoya and the Southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, as these are mainly accessed from Puntarenas and stretches down to the mouth of the Río Barú in the area known as Dominical de Osa. This spectacular area is very close to the Central Valley, a two-hours drive, 120 km away from the capital. Puntarenas City is its principal center. Another tourist center is Tambor. Worthy of note is the scenic beauty along the coastal highway that connects the Caldera area with the Quepos and Manual Antonio region.
