Uvita

Uvita is a small town south of Dominical, and north of Ojochal. It is the heart of Ballena Marine National Park. There has been a tremendous influx of foreigners non-Costa Ricans moving into Uvita over the past few years. Uvita was once considered "remote" but now features numerous grocery stores, banks, doctors, dentists, Internet cafe's and a thriving expat and local culture.
