WELCOME TO JACÓ
Tucked along the Pacific Ocean is Jacó. This coastal city is located within the Puntarenas province, where sand and stone meet. White shorelines--carved along Costa Rica’s Central Region--flank the north and south. Mountains surround the outskirts, shaped by volcanic rock and deep forests. It’s a collection of natural wonders... which makes it the obvious choice for every summer escape.

There is much to see and even more to experience, with Jacó sure to please fishing enthusiasts, adventurers and families alike.
