Reserva Natural Absoluta Cabo Blanco

 
Overview

The Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve is a Nature Reserve of Costa Rica, part of the Tempisque Conservation Area in the province of Puntarenas, covering an area of 3,140 acres terrestrial and 4,420 acres marine on southern tip of Nicoya Peninsula.

Description

Just 11km south of Montezuma in Costa Rica’s oldest protected wilderness area. Cabo Blanco comprises 12 sq km of land and 17 sq km of the surrounding ocean and includes the entire southern tip of the Península de Nicoya. The moist microclimate on the tip of the peninsula fosters the growth of evergreen forests, which are unique when compared with the dry tropical forests typical of Nicoya. The park also encompasses a number of pristine white-sand beaches and offshore islands that are favored nesting areas for various bird species.
