Punta Leona Vacation Rentals

An ideal place to just kick back on a pristine white-sand beach during the day or sit out under the stars at night and sip a cerveza (beer) or guaro (sugarcane liquor) is the Pacific coastal community of Punta Leona. Located in Puntarenas province, this town has lots of exotic touches. The Punta Leona Wildlife Refuge is home to countless species of birds and mammals, making it the perfect destination for nature lovers who want to combine some sensational eco-touring with a relaxing beach getaway. Vacation rentals to suit visitors’ preferences are plentiful.

The shore is ideal for swimming, snorkeling and riding the waves on a boogie board. Graceful pelicans glide by and head offshore to dine on fresh fish. Smaller birds run into the surf and snack on tiny creatures that wash up with every wave. Watching the sun set over the Pacific puts a powerful exclamation point on the end of a day in this paradise.

Mother Nature is the main attraction. The setting is in a unique transitional zone, between the rainforests and the dry forests. The presence of two diverse climates means that there are rich habitats for hundreds of species. Taking a hike through the easily accessible trails will bring the visitor within close range of rare scarlet macaws and spider monkeys. Butterflies bursting with color are all around. For fans of everything from hummingbirds to toucans, a camera is a must.

Vacation rentals with magnificent ocean views or rainforest locations are affordably priced.
