About Uvita

Uvita is the small town at the heart of the Costa Ballena, known for Marino Ballena National Park and its whale-tail sandbar, humpback whale season from July to October and December to March, waterfalls in the hills and a green, uncrowded coastline south of Dominical. Lodging ranges from jungle lodges to hillside villas with ocean views.

The ride from Liberia Airport (LIR)

From SJO airport allow 3.5 to 4 hours via Route 27 and the coastal highway through Jacó and Quepos. From Manuel Antonio it is about 1 hour 15 minutes south on paved road. From Liberia Airport or Guanacaste plan for 6 hours or more.

Good to know before you arrive

  • Visit the whale tail at low tide; check tide tables before you go.
  • Whale-watching boat tours run mornings from the park's beach entrances.
  • Nauyaca Waterfalls, 30 minutes north, are worth a half day.
  • Uvita has a supermarket and ATMs; villas in the hills need a car or driver for dinner runs.
