Quepos
Quepos is a district and the capital of Aguirre canton in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica.
The district has a population of about 22,000 people.
The town is about 60 km. south (in a straight line) from Costa Rica's capital, San José, but is 157 km from that city by road if going through the localities of Atenas, Orotina and Tárcoles.
Quepos is the gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park. The city is very tourism-oriented, having many bars and restaurants and a vivacious night-life.
The town is named for the native Quepo Indians who inhabited the place in the colonial era.
Quepos is well known thanks to being the gateway to a popular National Park and beaches in Costa Rica. Several years ago the country's park service imposed limits on the number of visitors to the park (600 per day, and it's closed on Mondays).
History
The area was home to the native Quepoa people of this specific Costa Rican region. In 1563, Spanish Catholic conquistadores, led by Juan Vázquez de Coronado, settled the area and founded the settlement of San Bernardino de Quepo. The local native Quepo people were then subsequently subjugated by Juan Vázquez and his conquistadores.

Quepos is the sixth canton in the province of Puntarenas in Costa Rica. The cantón covers an area of 543.77 km², and has a population of 29,569. Its capital city is Quepos, also known as Puerto Quepos.
It was named Aguirre until February 2015, when its name was changed following a vote in the Legislative Assembly. The name "Quepos" refers to the Quepoa people who inhabited this area in pre-Columbian and colonial times.

La Cantaleta
by: CabasY ahora que vas hacer
que para donde vas
que si tomas mas
con quien has salido,
Que porque no llegue
que llegue tarde ayer
que ya no se me ve
si no es amanecido,
Con ese repicar
me voy a trabajar
y todo es un suplicio
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido,
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido, RUIDO!
Y ahora que vas hacer
que para donde vas
que si tomas mas
con quien has salido,
Que porque no llegue
que llegue tarde ayer
que ya no se me ve
si no es amanecido,
Con ese repicar
me voy a trabajar
y todo es un suplicio
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido,
que voy a contestar si nadie puede hablar con semejante ruido.
