While visiting Osa Peninsula, be sure to visit Corcovado National Park - and while you're there, take a break relaxing in the waterfalls! |
Or, if waterfalls aren't your style, try meeting some of the locals - a friendly little squirrel monkey took quite a liking to this guest! |
The Osa peninsula is one of the most rustic and beautiful areas of Costa Rica and is home to
Corcovado National Park, the largest area of virgin rainforest left on
the west coast of the Americas. Scarlet macaws, toucans, monkeys and sloths,
are very common here. Occasionally, you will be fortunate enough to spot a
cougar or even the occasional jaguar.
All manner of accommodations are
available here from "rustic chic" to tents on platforms. The more upscale
properties offer electricity and hot water. There are several lodges in the
Drake Bay area that offer three and four day packages from San Jose. This is
probably one of the best ways to visit this very remote area. The packages
include meals, transportation, and usually a tour of Corcovado National Park
and a snorkeling trip to Isla del Cano.
If you plan to visit this natural
paradise, be prepared to expend some energy having a good time! The terrain is
uneven and can be a little difficult for the beginning hiker. Let us know of
any physical limitations that you may have.
