This small coastal town in southern Costa Rica's Osa region, Uvita sits at the edge of Marino Ballena National Park, home to Playa Uvita's distinctive Whale's Tail beach formation. The town has grown into the commercial hub of the Costa Ballena coast and has gained international attention for widespread Bitcoin adoption — earning the nickname Bitcoin Jungle — alongside its annual Envision Festival. UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region.
