Lepanto

Lepanto combines a slow-paced rural character with the practical role of a district centre, reflecting its position on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. Near the Gulf of Nicoya, it belongs to the peninsula’s southeastern side, where coastal roads connect small settlements, farms and ferry ports. The gulf, dotted with islands and shaped by pronounced tides, separates Nicoya from the city of Puntarenas on the mainland. Lepanto is the administrative seat of the district of the same name in Puntarenas canton, providing everyday services for nearby communities. It presents a quieter, less urban side of Costa Rica’s Pacific region beyond the country’s major resort towns. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Puntarenas Province.
