You step out of Juan Santamaría International into warm air; a driver in a clean, recently serviced 15-passenger minibus waits with the vehicle's A/C already humming. The road south slices through the Central Valley's low foothills and then opens to the Pacific coast; by the time the highway bends toward Jaco, salt and surf begin to push at the windows, daring you to get out and explore.

Wildlife
History
Jaco grew from a small coastal fishing and surf community into a service hub for anglers and tourists after road improvements in the late 20th century; the Central Pacific’s development ties closely to improved access from San José.
Conservation
Coastal development and beach use affect local nesting sites and mangrove health—opt for designated viewing areas and avoid feeding wildlife, particularly at Tarcoles.
