Regions at a Glance
The Pacific Slope
Sun, Sand & Surf
If you've been up in the hills or traveling hard, the whole Pacific coast is dotted with little
beach towns where you can crank it back a notch or two and get in some quality do-nothing
time.
This Fish is Delish!
With so much coastline it's no surprise that the seafood here is excellent - fried fish and
shrimp are staples, but don't miss out on the
caldo de mariscos
(seafood stew) if you see it
on a menu.
Animal Frenzy
With whales and turtles in the waters off the beaches and the mangroves buzzing with bird-
life, this region is a wildlife-watcher's paradise. If you don't get your fill there, stop by the
drive-through Autosafari Chapin wildlife reserve.
