Just at South of Dominical, Uvita, and Ballena in the canton of Osa, are the towns of Ojochal, Coronado, Palmar Norte, and Palmar Sur. As you enter the geographically spread-out town of Ojochal, you notice that there is something different about this area. And it’s about to undergo a technological injection that will nurture its uniqueness.

Contrary to the surfer town and touristic nature of Dominical, Ojochal is a residential international community with a larger foreign population than many towns in Costa Rica. And it has had time to develop into a unique environment during the last 25 plus years. “We aim to make a great Social and Economic impact on the community”, commented Tim Foss, Founder and CEO of Itellum. He went on to say, “We are here to help and it's a mission that started way back in 2015.” He’s referring to the companies successful efforts to bring Internet via 1:1 International Fiber Optics to areas throughout Costa Rica and in particular High-Speed Satellite Broadband Internet to the Osa canton.

Influences of people from the US, Canada, both French and English have spurred the development of a fascinating variety of restaurants. As a result, the area is often referred to as the “Culinary Capital of Costa Rica”. You will find people from all over the world here and this is reflected in the eclectic and extensive ingredients available here. If you are a “foodie”, this is the place to be. Some of these establishments also provide a nightlife scene. Places such as El Castillo, Nanny's, Citrus Restaurant, Cafe Exotica, and Le Bistro are all hot spots on various nights. Unlike “tourist towns” these restaurants cater to the local residents and the owners keep their food delectable and prices affordable in order to maintain a happy clientele and not alienate future business.

Sadly, public transportation is lacking and is provided by the national bus lines and tourist shuttles primarily from the Dominical area. Taxis are very difficult to find and you may wait for a very long time. Residents need to have some form of transportation in order to get around to the various amenities.

The prospect of having the Fastest & Most Reliable Internet in Costa Rica via Fiber Optic Internet Connectivity or most definitely through Rural Satellite Internet is giving developers an incentive to create new residential projects in and around the surrounding areas.

If one heads south to the remote and picturesque area of Coronado, one can see the potential of a bedroom community to the more commercial towns in the area. From the green mountains to the rushing waters of the Rio Coronado to the coastal views of the Pacific, Coronado has some of the most spectacular landscapes in the country. Although Coronado does not have a multitude of hotel accommodations, it does have a variety of vacation rentals. These can range from rustic cabins in the mountain forest to luxury mansions with horizon pools and Pacific Ocean views.

All more accessible via websites like Airbnb through Itellum high speed Internet. Coronado is in the district of Puerto Cortés with an estimated total population of 8,700 spread out over the 226 km2 area. Only 38% of the district is considered to be urban so there is plenty of room to grow with sustainability in mind. This is the perfect venue for the development of eco-communities nestled in the lush mountains with ocean views.

The location allows residents access to amenities in Dominical, Uvita, Ojochal and Palmar Norte, and Palmar Sur.
