About Dominical:

The Dominical region is home to the largest prehistoric rain forests in Central America and 3 national parks making it one of the most biologically diverse and stunningly beautiful places in the world. This region gets lots of rainfall which keeps the entire area very green and flourishing year round, attracting the nature adventurist, back packers, or those preferring a more isolated experience.

An abundance of estuaries and mangroves along the coastline add to this diversity and many rivers that come down from the mountains that provide world class white-water rafting. Coastal areas offer every imaginable water activity, most notably diving, fishing and whale watching in waters that are teaming with whale sharks, manta rays and hammerheads. The Pacific coast highway stretches all the way from the Panama border in the south, up to Guanacaste in the far north. And all points in between offer that which only Costa Rica can.
