Costa Rica
The Costa Ballena Region of Costa Rica
By Steve Linder
Summary: There's an area along the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica known as the Costa Ballena. Ballena means "whale" in Spanish and this area is the mating area of the humpback whales seasonally from December to April. This area is also home to a number of well known beaches in Costa Rica and noted for the large enclave of north American and foreign baby boomers, retirees and expats living in the area.

slicksWe are planning to come down to the Ojochal area within the year. Can you advise the best time to visit and what can we expect to pay for a apartment rental? Thanks!
redkramerThis is very helpful information for our upcoming visit to Dominical. Thank you for your article Steve. We will be in the area for 2 1/2 months and are in need of a rental car. We are currently searching the internet and the prices are high and no break for monthly rentals. Some companies say not able to rent beyond 28 days. Does anyone have any suggestions?
JimWHonestly, I find these articles to be close to simply being promotional items. No real, hard information about costs such as food, rentals, the rainy season, and so on, which would truly assist someone in making a realistic decision. Too fluffy.
