Casa Amarilla in Puerto Cortés

Puerto Cortés, also known as Ciudad Cortés, is the capital of the Osa canton in the Puntarenas province of Costa Rica. It is a small river port located on the banks of the Térraba River, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from its mouth at the Pacific Ocean.

The city has a rich history linked to the banana industry, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s, when the United Fruit Company operated in the region. This period attracted numerous immigrants and contributed to the economic and social development of the area.

Today, Puerto Cortés is known for its focus on conservation and sustainable tourism. The city is recognized for its clean environment and low pollution, with abundant green spaces that contribute to air purity. Additionally, it is common to see residents using bicycles, reflecting a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle.

One of the main tourist initiatives is the “Paseo Histórico El Embarcadero” (Historic Walk The Pier), part of the “De Puerto a Puerto” (From Port to Port) project, which aims to connect Puerto Cortés with Puerto Jiménez in the Golfito canton. This initiative highlights the region’s architectural, cultural, and gastronomic history, promoting both cultural and nature tourism.

Puerto Cortés is an attractive destination for those seeking a mix of history, culture, and nature in the southern region of Costa Rica.
