Traveling south along Costa Rica's beautiful Pacific coast, Dominical appears amidst deep vegetation, deserted beaches, a cool blue ocean, and fantastic waves. The rainforest, whales, waterfalls, and tranquility of the area have become the recognized characteristics of this beach town in Costa Ballena, the famous whale tail formed by a piece of land, is a great attraction. The big waves are ideal for surfing, the magnificent areas and facilities for nature and adventure tours can be taken from Dominical to the neighboring places of great scenic beauty, such as the Ballena Marine National Park, Nauyaca waterfalls and the nearby hills that offer spectacular views of the entire coastal area.

Would you like to escape to a place of wild mountain forests that spill down onto pristine beaches?
