The Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica is a high-value Film Friendly Zone that blends pristine coastal settings, primary rainforests, and authentic rural towns within one cinematic territory. From the iconic Whale Tail formation at Bahía Ballena—with its white and black sand beaches, mangroves, and dramatic cliffs—to the majestic Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park—one of the most biodiverse places on Earth—this region offers a unique visual palette for documentaries, ecological dramas, fantasy and adventure productions. Growing tourism infrastructure and access via road or domestic flights enable efficient operations in locations that, while remote, are supported by experienced local providers.

Key towns such as Pérez Zeledón, Golfito, Ciudad Neily, San Vito, Palmar, and Sierpe expand the zone’s logistical capacity with lodging, transport, rural landscapes, coffee farms, rivers, and traditional architecture. These communities contribute both realism and cultural depth while supporting medium-scale productions with a growing network of services and talent. The Southern Pacific isn’t just visually stunning—it’s a living, committed region where nature and culture take center stage on screen.
