Puntarenas is a province of Costa Rica that actually covers almost the entire Pacific (western) coast of the country. Since it is so large, there are actually fairly substantial differences between different parts of the province. The southern area, bordering Panama, is covered in large areas of costal rain forests.
The lush growth here is due to the copious rainfall and hot, sunny days. Home to many rare and endangered species, it is largely uninhabited and is definitely more remote than other areas of the country.
