Uvita : tout pour préparer ton voyage

Uvita lies on the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is known for Marino Ballena National Park, the famous whale-tail sandbank and whale watching.

Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit

Whale-tail sandbank – Accessible on foot at low tide and spectacular from above. This natural phenomenon connects the ocean and tropical coast in an impressive way.
Watch humpback whales – Guided boat tours allow you to experience whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. Sightings are particularly frequent in season.
Explore natural beaches – Playa Uvita, Colonia and Arco are free of hotel buildings. Here you have space for walks, swimming and birdwatching – there are no overcrowded spots.

L’essentiel en un coup d’œil

Drones prohibited – Drones are not allowed in Marino Ballena National Park. This way you do not disturb any animals and can enjoy genuine moments in nature on the beach.
National park opening hours – The park gates are usually open from 7am to 4pm. Plan your visit so that you are there early in the morning or in the late afternoon to see the most wildlife.
Whale-tail sandbank only accessible at low tide – You can only walk all the way along the famous sandbank at low tide. Check the tides beforehand.
Wildlife watching best in the morning – Howler monkeys, Nasuas and toucans are most active in the early morning hours. Start your day before 9am to spot as many animals as possible.
Car recommended – Uvita is spread out and not set up for getting around on foot. With a hire car or bicycle you can reach restaurants, beaches and waterfalls most flexibly.
Swimming in the sea with caution – The park’s beaches are mostly calm, but there can be strong currents in places. Always swim close to the shore and pay attention to local advice.
