Gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park One of the most popular national parks in Costa Rica, sits only 7 kilometers south. Besides the large tourist draw, Quepos is also frequented by many scientists and naturalists, who come to study this region's fantastic diversity of flora and fauna. |
Fishing The shoreline of Quepos is home to many fish that are considered premier catches, including marlin, sailfish, snapper, amberjack, wahoo, dorado, yellow fin and big eye tuna, and roosterfish. With the several charter companies operating, you can prepare to hook a winner. Angling enthusiasts can fish inshore or offshore, with the option of fly fishing as well. Novice fishermen will benefit from bilingual guides that bring you over the breeding hotspots for fish.
Outdoor Adventure If fishing is not your forte, feel free to enjoy a heap of other adventurous day trips many of them in nearby Manuel Antonio. After the fall of the banana plantation industry that laid the foundations for the port, Quepos replaced its former industry with ecotourism - meaning that there are many other draws, including canopy tours, horseback riding, kayaking and surfing. Swim with the fish scuba diving, greet ancient reptiles on the iguana tours or embark on a white water rafting trip. The options are limitless!
