Costa Rica has some nice places around Bahia Salinas, but in my opinion, the best kitespot in all Central America has to be Punta Chame. I have come here repeatedly over the last years while living in Panama, and always found some charme to it. And i am sure I will continue to be part of the kitesurfing community of Punta Chame for a long time! The Natural Splendor of Punta chame The place has change a lot over the years, and not necessarily in the best way. It has struggled to develop and to grow (which is a great plus if you ask me).
