Cobano
"The Crossroads"Cobano truly is the hub of the southern part of the Nicoya Peninsula. This is the all-important stop for tourists and residents needing services and supplies. All the surrounding beach town, village and community roads branch off the crossroads of Cobano providing a steady flow of traffic through the central part of this formerly sleepy cattle raising and farming region.
During the day, especially Monday through Friday, Cobano receives a steady flow of visitors arriving and departing to the area by car, motorcycle, taxi and bus. Tourist and residents alike stop to bank, shop, find services, and say their salutations whether moving on to another destination or returning home before the evening sunset.
For those travelers and future residents concerned about essential services in the region, four efficient and quality services can be found in Cobano: banking, postal, medical and police.
