The Inspiring southern coast now called Costa Ballena
The Inspiring Costa Ballena
In South West Costa Rica where the Coastal road or the Costanera Sur runs through Dominical , Uvita, Ojochal and inland to Palmar is a pity named the “Costa Ballena” or the Whale Coast. It`s geographical features differentiate it from the rest of Costa Rica. Rain forest covered meters drop sharply into the sea where giant waves carve out cliffs and caverns hidden behind cascading waterfalls. Marine turtles, spinner dolphins and several species of whales migrate up and down the coast navigating between jagged rock islands. The atmosphere creates a kind of intensity that awakens the senses of the adventurous spirit.
People who come here to relax may find that a difficult task. Of course there are many quiet coves, lazy riverbanks and crimson sunsets that are perfect for hanging a hammock and reading a book. However, the animal populated jungles, tantalizing mangrove islands and the forming surf pounding the volcanic sand beaches all tend to invigorate rather than tranquilize.
Activities in which residents participate are cabalgatas or large horse parades, walking through sea caves, rappelling down waterfalls, searching for nocturnal animals on an evening jungle trail and whale watching while nature is abundant, modern amenities are also convenient.
Dominical, Uvita, Ojochal and Palmar the 4 main towns are connected by the best road in Costa Rica. They boast banks, numerous gourmet restaurants, supermarkets, electronics, hardware stores, private English schools, internet cafes, cell phone sales and repairs, veterinarian, doctor, dentist, pharmacies, chiropractors and many others. Still there are many businesses needed inspiring new pioneers. A few come to live a quiet, relaxing exist but most move here to see the incredible nature and wild life., interact with Costa Ricans and learn their culture, make new friends and experience or start a new business.
