Accessible from the capital San José, it can be reached via San Isidro de El General through Route 243 to the east or down the coast from Quepos through Route 34 (Costanera Sur). Although similar in distance, the trip down the coast is much faster due to the winding nature of the inland route.[1] The area between Quepos and Dominical is dotted with African oil palm plantations producing palm oil.[2] Farther south are the villages of Uvita, Ojochal, Coronado on the Route 34.
