watching, maybe see some monkeys along the way? Great!

FOOD AND LODGINGEXCITING DINING is an Aguila de Osa Inn trademark. Our distinctive cuisine is created with a uniquely tropical flair. Fresh seafood, pasta, tasty vegetables, and luscious tropical fruit, prepared with simplicity and originality are served in a comfortable, expansive atmosphere. Our guestrooms feature hardwood floors, ceiling fans and private, tiled bathrooms. The cabins are situated on a bluff overlooking magnificent Drake Bay and the Pacific Coast. |
JUNGLE HIKESWALK INTO A WORLD of immense bio-diversity right on your doorstep. Trails cross orchid draped streams and wind through virgin jungle, home to a vast array of exotic birds and mammals. Howler and White-faced monkeys bound through the canopy. The Scarlet Macaw, Toucan, and Tanager are just three examples of the 300 species of birds indigenous to the region. Guided tours of Corcovado National Park and Caño Island Biological Reserve allow you to further explore the magnificence of this rainforest frontier to its fullest. |
SCUBA DIVING
There are 15 or more types of stony coral species as well as the attendant coral eaters (starfish, mollusks, and hermit crabs). The terrain varies widely and includes 20' reefs, 50' underwater pinnacles, canyons, walls and caves. Visibility is good to excellent all year round; often marine life can be viewed 70' below the surface. Surface sightings include porpoises, Olive Ridley sea turtles, whale sharks, sea snakes and humpback whales. Caño Island and the Osa Peninsula coast are a part of a mammoth (Rio Sierpe, Rio Terraba, Caño Island) marine ecosystem. More than one hundred thousand acres of mangrove wetlands and one thousand miles of fresh and salt water rivers, estuaries and tributaries interact with the Pacific ocean through tides which provide for an incredible abundance of marine life. This area of the Pacific is south of the trade winds and therefore characterized by gentle swells and breezes. Rate for Diving - Certified Divers Only |
GETTING TO AGUILA DE OSAPart of the charm of Aguila de Osa is that it can only be reached by boat or sea plane. The most common way of arriving is by taking a 45 minute scheduled Travelair flight from San José to Palmar Sur, a short taxi ride to Sierpe and by boat to the Inn. This final leg of your journey consists of a 25 mile boat ride, 21 miles along Rio Sierpe, viewing the mangrove forest, and an additional 4 miles on the beautiful Pacific. During the boat ride you will discover the Sierpe-Terraba Mangrove Reserve, the largest in Costa Rica, with 54,000 acres. Often you will see White Faced Monkeys, Howler Monkeys, Caymens, and a large variety of birds and other wildlife.

CAÑO ISLAND and selected OSA
PENINSULA coastal sites provide "unequaled parades of pelagic fish" (Skin Diver
Magazine): clouds of fish literally block the sun's rays in the clear waters as divers
penetrate the fish schools. Brightly colored tropical fish, snapper, tuna, grouper,
mackerel, jack, shark, trigger fish, barracuda (typically in schools), manta rays, eels,
porcupine fish, sea urchins, octopus, lobster, sponges, sea cucumbers, and other marine
species are seen.
