CABO BLANCO NATURE RESERVE COSTA RICA LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Cobano, pronouced CO-ba-no,
not co-BA-no, is the crossroads for the southern Nicoya Peninsula.
It has the area's only bank, the only gas station, the best hardware
store, and the best grocery store (Super Maya). On monday mornings
there's a farmer's market in a vacant lot in the city center, where
you can get all your fruit and veggies cheap.
In addition, there are several schools, including a private school
and the area's only high school. The police station here covers not
only Cobano, but Malpais, Santa Teresa, San Isidro, Santiago, Playa
Hermosa, Betel, Rio Negro, Manzanillo, etc. They are incredibly
underfunded by the Costa Rican government and rumour has it that
they aren't even given enough money for gasoline to drive to the
beach areas. Fortunately, the area has very little violent crime.
Behind Cobano are a set of gorgeous mountains, with views
overlooking the entire southern peninsula. Land is cheap up there,
but access can be difficult, especially in rainy season. This area
is still wild, with few people and lots of animals, including rare
species such as peccaries, jaguars, and pumas.
