The whale tail town and gateway to Marino Ballena
Uvita is the heart of Costa Ballena, in the canton of Osa, Puntarenas province. It is best known for Punta Uvita, the natural sandbar shaped like a whale's tail that appears at low tide inside Marino Ballena National Park. Around it you will find waterfalls, rainforest ridges, farms and a small, relaxed town that works as the base for most tours in the southern Pacific.
