Quepos, Harbor district in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica
The district of Quepos extends over 235 square kilometers along the Central Pacific coast between the Damas and Barú rivers.
In 1563, Spanish conquistador Juan Vázquez de Coronado established the settlement of San Bernardino de Quepo, initiating colonial control over indigenous territories.
The district inherited its name from the Quepo indigenous people who maintained their settlements in the coastal region during pre-colonial times.
The district connects to other regions through National Routes 34, 235, 616, and 618, with regular transportation services to San José.
The marina of Quepos district maintains specialized facilities for Pacific sailfish expeditions, with peak fishing activities occurring between November and April.
