About Quepos
Quepos is a charming town located on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, known for its stunning beaches and lush rainforests. The local currency used in Quepos is the Costa Rican Colón. The town offers a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, with activities such as zip-lining, surfing, and wildlife watching. Visitors can also explore the nearby Manuel Antonio National Park, home to diverse wildlife including monkeys and sloths. The town has a vibrant culinary scene, with many restaurants serving fresh seafood and traditional Costa Rican dishes.
When to visit
The best time to visit Quepos is during the dry season from December to April, when the weather is sunny and perfect for outdoor activities. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices. The rainy season from May to November offers lush green landscapes and fewer tourists, but be prepared for daily afternoon showers. Whale watching season runs from July to November, offering a unique opportunity to see humpback whales in the area.
Getting around
Getting around Quepos is easy with taxis, buses, and rental cars readily available. Taxis are a convenient option for short distances within the town, while buses are a budget-friendly way to travel to nearby attractions. Rental cars are recommended for exploring the surrounding areas at your own pace. Walking and biking are also popular ways to get around Quepos, especially in the town center where many attractions are within walking distance.
Traveller tips
Make sure to pack light clothing, sunscreen, and insect repellent for your trip to Quepos. It's also a good idea to carry cash in small denominations, as some places may not accept credit cards. Be prepared for the heat and humidity by staying hydrated and taking breaks in the shade. Respect the local wildlife and follow guidelines when visiting national parks to help preserve the natural environment. Lastly, don't forget to try the local specialty dish, 'gallo pinto', a delicious mix of rice and beans often served for breakfast.
