Welcome to Quepos
With a prime position on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, Quepos doubles as a gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park. Visitors come to this small but perfectly formed park to explore its rain forests, lounge on its white-sand beaches, and discover wildlife—from toucans and sloths to squirrel monkeys—on naturalist-led walks. Afterwards, there are more things to do in Quepos proper: pristine coastline attracts sun-seekers and sport-fishers; whale watching season kicks off from midsummer; and the town comes to life every February, when the Festival del Mar (Sea Festival) brings in crowds and entertainment.
