It is a land of unspoiled beaches, wind blown savannas and dry tropical forests that beckon both locals and foreigners to discover the area's rich folklore and tradition. Cultural activities include patron saint festivals, tico-style bull riding and a delicious variety of typical food and drink.

This the region boasts a wide variety of beaches and scenic coastal features, as well as other attractions such as wilderness areas that protect caves with stalactites and stalagmites, tropical dry forests, wetlands, volcanoes and historic sites, to name a few.

The Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport allows for quick, safe entry to the area's main tourist destinations, and an efficient public transportation and ferry system (Paquera and Playa Naranjo) facilitates travel to various points in the region.
