Golfito National Wildlife Refuge
The Golfito Wildlife Refuge is located on the Pacific coast's Golfo Dulce, or Sweet Gulf. Nearly surrounding the town of Golfito, it was created largely as a method of protecting the municipality's water supply. The refuge shares its northern boundary with Piedras Blancas National Park, and as a result the two protected zones feature much of the same biodiversity and wildlife.
