DESTINATIONS - Dominical, COSTA RICA

jaco beach Located on the South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, this little town’s most attractive offer lies right at its front door: the ocean. Popular activities therefore include surfing, diving, snorkeling and fishing. However not just the ocean lends itself to exciting tours, the surrounding environment lends itself to a plentitude of adventurous and natural activities such as horseback riding, climbing, biking or bird watching.

Dominical is moreover an excellent starting point for tours to Corcovado National Park, which offers a rich biodiversity. Or even closer, at less than nine miles from Dominical, the national park of Marino Ballena is especially famous for its whale-watching opportunities.

In fact, the popularity of Dominical can be greatly prescribed to the fact that this beach is one of the only two places worldwide, where whales from both the Northern and the Southern hemisphere can be spotted. The infamous humpback whales as well as six other species can -with a little bit of luck- either be observed from the shoreline, during nine months of the year, or for better chances yet, whale-watching tours are absolutely recommended.

And how about ending an exciting day with a little relaxation? Dominical has a good reputation regarding yoga, which is reflected in the quality of the classes at Cuna del Angel. Moreover this hotel offers an excellent spa to let your soul float into higher dimensions…
