Holidays in Ballena

Sick of scrolling through other people's holiday pics while you're gobbling down your brekkie? Then book a getaway to Ballena and spend your days among the awesome beaches and forests of Costa Rica.

Be sure to pack a hamper so you can treat yourself to lunch by the water at Manuel Antonio Beach or Playa Cacao.

Get out in the fresh air and admire the natural surrounds of Chirripo National Park. It lies 40 kilometres away from Ballena. You'll also find some peace and quiet at Marino Ballena National Park, 7 kilometres away.

Ciudad Cortes Central Park and Ranario are quite close to the centre of Chontales, 18 kilometres to the southeast. After more? Platanillo, 20 kilometres to the northwest of Ballena, is home to Hacienda Baru and Costa Rica Stand Up Paddle Boarding.

Sitting 80 kilometres to the southeast, Golfito is a destination that has plenty to offer. Parque Nacional de Fauna Silvestre Golfito, Golfito Marina and Refugio Nacional de Fauna Silvestre Golfito are all pretty close. Keep in mind, Port Captain and Piedras Blancas National Park are also worthy.

Turn your holiday in this part of the world into a real adventure with a bit of mountain biking or hiking. They're both popular pastimes here.

If you're feeling a little frayed around the edges, take the chance to be at one with nature and go sunbathing. If that's not your cup of tea, bird watching might suit you better.

Why waste time putting together an itinerary when all the hard work can be someone else's responsibility? Guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours make sightseeing easy.

Whether you would rather be in, on or near it, we all love the water! Why not add some thrills to your holiday by doing some swimming and snorkeling?

If you get stuck in miserable weather, take cover in one of the region's nature museums.

When it finally comes time to leave, spend the last of your holiday allowance and say "Hasta la vista" to Ballena.

Metal detectors, delayed flights and long queues. Airports are often exhausting. Give yourself ample time to make your way to Tocumen International Airport (PTY). Situated 470 kilometres to the east, it's the closest terminal.
