Hi Steemmates!
Today, I would like to take you on a little tour around Punta Uva, a picturesque tiny fishing village located on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Found some 8 km (5 mi) outside the popular tourist town of Puerto Viejo, Punta Uva basically consists of just several dirt roads, little shops, restaurants and a few small hotels.
While there is not really much to see in the village, you will be amazed by the beauty and diversity of the surrounding nature. The area is famous for superb white to golden sand beaches, calm crystal clear waters, lush tropical vegetation and abundant wildlife. The beaches are never crowded and the water offers great conditions for snorkeling as there is a beautiful coral reef not far from the shore. In fact, some parts of the Punta Uva area already belong to the Gandoca-Manzanillo National Park.
Let me now show you a few shots I took there.
This is also my entry for today´s #landscapephotography contest hosted by @juliank.

@martibis here, Punta Uva is actually one of my most favorite places I've seen so far, there is actually a little hidden passage between two beaches (where you normally have to go around), but you can climb up on top of the rocks and the views are simply stunning. I should have some footage of that laying around, might have to make a post about that, haha!
Also you're a Honorable Mention in the latest Digest!
Hey @martibis, first - thanks for running @steemitworldmap, it is an amazing tool! Second, thanks for stopping by and leaving this comment - I only spent a couple of hours at Punta Uva as we were on a bike trip to Manzanillo from Puerto Viejo but I agree - it is an incredibly beautiful place! Also, thanks for the Honorable Mention, means a lot! :) Keep up the great work.
Nice place!!!
Moc pěkné místo.
První a třetí fotka super ;)
Díky. Druhá a čtvrtá je nepříliš fotogenická (leč v reálu krásná) sladkovodní laguna :)
To Ti věřím a závidím ;)
Bohužel na fotkách je vypálená obloha... Někdy je to boj. V pondělí jsem na výlet táhl foťák s vědomím, že na tom místě fotit nejde...
A nešlo ;)
Wow, very cool place! Now I want to leave :)
This looks very nice and heaven-like. I am missing the sea! Really giving me an urge to go for a swim...
Thanks! :)
wonderful place, thanks for sharing this :)
Qué fotos más preciosas.
El caribe es fascinante con sus playas y su naturaleza.
Buenas fotos para la participación de hoy @phortun.

Looks like para - para - paradise!
Wao its really cool... I need this relax... Wait for me beach!!!
Wow nádherné fotky, hlavně ta první je hodně povedená :) Jak pohlednice :)
Díky :) Já říkám že, taková krásná místa se fotí sama :)
Wow! Punta Uva is so beautiful dear @phortun , you gpt beautiful photos as always ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much :)
You know I'm a big fan of Costa Rica! It's definitely on my list of places where I want to return. Great shots! It sounds like you were in a wonderful part of the country.
Thanks, yes, it is a beautiful part of the country. But I think all Costa Rica is a woderful piece of land. They really take care of their incredible nature, which makes this country stand out.
A place you dream to spend your holidays, beautiful!
Haha exactly :) Thanks.
Even under a stormy sky the place looks beautiful! ;-)
Looks really nice. How long did you stay? Did you do some beach exploring =)?
Thanks :) Actually, we stayed just for a few hours, we stopped there during a bike from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo ;)
Nice place!!!
