The Osa Peninsula is the largest tract of lowland tropical rainforest in Central America. It is separated from mainland Costa Rica by the Golfo Dulce, one of just three tropical fjords on the planet, the sole anoxic basin on the entire Pacific coast of the Americas and the only place on earth where whales and dolphins from both hemispheres come to breed and raise their young. Is one of the mort humid places on earth with about 360 inches of rain per year.
Dominated by Corcovado National Park which protects most of the peninsula, the Osa is home to hundreds of endemic plant, animal and insect species, National Geographic recently called the Osa “the most biologically intense place on earth”.
The Osa Península has been dubbed Costa Rica’s last wilderness frontier. Rich in wildlife sparsely populated and, until recently, having very difficult access, much of this highly forested area is conserved in national parks and private reserves. Towering rainforests line undeveloped beaches and untouched coves, making this region one of the most beautiful on Earth.
In response to a growing ecotourism market, many environmentally conscious lodges have opened up at the entrances to Corcovado National Park. Puerto Jiménez and Drake Bay have become premier destinations, catering to vacationers who want to experience nature and comfort simultaneously.
Nearby Caño Island is excellent for snorkeling and diving, while the deeper waters are great for sport fishing. You can swim with dolphins, go horseback riding and swing through the trees on a canopy adventure. Dive with sharks; follow a tapir through the forests; or simply hang out drinking fine wine at any of the luxury lodges. This is how you experience Osa.
