Costa Rica Outdoors & Waves

 osa peninsula

The Osa peninsula is considered by National Geographic as one of the most biologically diverse places on earth. 

Osa is located on the southern pacific coast of Costa Rica, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west and by the Golfo Dulce in the east. This region is an untouched rainforest which offers secluded beaches, abundant wildlife, a lush primary forest and a complex system of freshwater and marine ecosystems. 

This peninsula has a lot to offer to the adventurous traveler seeking for an authentic nature experience. Some of the most important protected areas in this region are Corcovado National Park, Isla del Caño Biological Reserve and Piedras Blancas National Park. Get ready to explore the rainforest trails in the company of a naturalist tour guide, discover hidden waterfalls or enjoy a day on a boat, watching whales and dolphins. Those interested in wetlands, caimans and water birds must visit the Esquinas river mangroves, while those looking for waves shouldn’t miss the long right points in the Cabo Matapalo area. 

Without a doubt, the main natural attraction of the Osa peninsula is Corcovado National Park, it covers nearly half of the peninsula and has the largest lowland rainforest in Central America. The Golfo Dulce is another top attraction in this region of southern Costa Rica, here the 80-degree turquoise water is an oasis for dolphins, whales and turtles, a prime spot for inshore fishing and a great place for kayaking, snorkeling and swimming. 

Lodges in Osa are settled amongst the forest with sweeping ocean views, immersing guests in the exceptional wild nature of the Osa Peninsula. The villas, bungalows and rooms are constructed of tropical hardwoods with thatched roofs, the majority of the accommodations have spacious bathrooms with outdoor garden showers and porches with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. Most lodges in Osa are open-air with screens, designed to give you an incredible indoor-outdoor experience, finding harmony in this undisturbed environment, allowing the appreciation of the sounds, sights and smells of the rainforest. Hammocks, comfortable chairs and lounges, design furniture, fine linens and eco-fans are some of the amenities found in the Osa eco-lodges rooms.
