Cantón de Puntarenas is the heart of Costa Rica's Puntarenas Province, with the capital city of Puntarenas, one of the country's most important port cities, situated on the Pacific coast. It is uniquely situated as a maritime hub that connects Costa Rica to the rest of the world, and its economy is based on port logistics, fishing and tourism. Long stretches of golden sandy beaches, such as Puntarenas, attract surfers and sunbathers, and seasonal whale-watching tours offer visitors the chance to encounter humpback whales and dolphins. The local culture is a blend of European, indigenous and African elements, with fresh seafood dishes such as ceviche and the lively "Puntarenas Carnival" offering a distinctly Caribbean flavor. As the starting point for exploring Costa Rica's Pacific Coast, Barva County is a must-see destination for tourists and businessmen alike, with its natural charm and human dynamism.
