Uvita (Costa Rica)

Uvita de Osa, nicknamed Bitcoin Jungle, is a small town in southern Costa Rica, on a section of coastline known as the Bahía Ballena. It is notable for its widespread Bitcoin adoption, hosting an annual music event and being home to the Cola de Ballena beach which is one of the beaches comprising Marino Ballena National Park. Uvita has grown tremendously since the early 2000s and is the commercial center of the Costa Ballena region. Many expatriates from North America and Europe, particularly those who have an interest in Bitcoin, have moved to Uvita.
