## Description

Bananas built Golfito: until 1985 the United Fruit Company shipped vast quantities through this Pacific-coast town in southern Costa Rica, which has since reinvented itself around ecotourism, sportfishing and a duty-free shopping depot. The airstrip (GLF) now carries light charter and regional flights to the country's remote south. No freighters operate here; goods reach Golfito by road and the Pacific seaport, with air cargo handled at San José (SJO). A local quirk is the Depósito Libre, a tax-advantaged retail zone that draws day-trippers.
