Southern Costa Rica Attractions

 
Inland southern Costa Rica is dominated by the Cordillera de Talamanca mountain range. The area is of specific interest to climbers, as several mountains over 3,000m/9,840ft are found in the region. Chirripó Mountain (3,820m/12,530ft) is Costa Rica's highest peak and is one of the country's top attractions. This region covers parts of both the Puntarenas and San José provinces.

National parks and biological reserves are the major attractions in this region. The largest population of indigenous peoples are found in southern Costa Rica, and there are several indigenous reserves. Also found here is the largest national protected area, La Amistad International Park, which continues across the Panamanian border.
