Шаблон:Infobox Protected area Ballena Marine National Park (Шаблон:Lang-es), is a national park of Costa Rica, part of the Osa Conservation Area created as a safe area for humpback whale migration, hence its name, as Шаблон:Lang is the Spanish word for whale.

The national park has an area of Шаблон:Convert marine, and Шаблон:Convert terrestrial. The park was created by executive decree Nº 21294-MIRENEM on 9 June 1992.[1]

From December to April, the park is visited by migrating humpback whales who come to breed in the warmer tropical waters off the Central American coast. From June to November, the whales migrate north to the West Coast of the United States and southern British Columbia, where they feed.[2]

In the terrestrial area of the park are the Ballena beach, Uvita bay beach and Piñuela beach.
