The Costa Rican Caribbean Coast stretches from the San Juan River on the northern border with Nicaragua, to the Sixaola River on the southern border with Panama. Limon, the provincial capital, is located in the centre and is the main distribution point for tourism... Costa Rica's Central Pacific region is a highly popular tourist destination, especially for its easy access to the Central Valley. Only one to two hours from the capital city of San Jose, you have beautiful beaches, fun coastal resort towns, the country's most important Pacific ports, and fantastic surfing, sportfishing, sailing, scuba diving, and other water sports. Lined with a stunning mountainous coastline, the Central Pacific is a transition zone from tropical dry forest to tropical rainforest. It is not as humid as the Caribbean Coast or the South Pacific; however, it is rainier than Guanacaste and the Nicoya Peninsula.
