Students can expect a combination of dense jungles, imposing mountains, and paradisiac beaches. The Limon Province has the highest percentage of protected land in Costa Rica.
Punta Uva is located at the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, just south of Cahuita and just north of the Panamanian border. There are white sand beaches surrounded by palm trees and crystal clear water. Playa Punta Uva is also known for its amazing butterfly gardens, it has some of Costa Rica’s most exotic butterflies, including the blue Morpho. Also, the Bri Bri Indigenous Reserve located nearby.
Staying in Punta Uva is a little bit different from a vacation that you might be used to. This is due to the seclusion of the southern Caribbean. Large resorts and agencies haven’t over developed this area and kept the natural way of the land. When you come here, you get the full experience of what Costa Rica’s Caribbean should be.
