Described by National Geographic as “the most biologically intense place on earth”, the Osa Peninsula is home to 2.5% of the world’s biodiversity. Located in Costa Rica’s southernmost region on the Pacific coast, it is made up of thirteen tropical ecosystems and mostly covered by the Corcovado National Park.

Home to Central America’s last lowland rainforest and an abundance of beautiful beaches, this is one of the wildest places in Costa Rica that you can explore through hikes, treks, and waterfall swimming, plus diving and snorkeling. The tip of Osa Peninsula is a surfer’s paradise thanks to its uncrowded beaches, barrels and rolling waves.

This untouched, virgin area of the country is the place for true wildlife and nature immersion, inhabited by pumas, sloths, tapirs, ocelots and howler monkeys as well as over 350 bird species, marine life, and one of the largest populations of scarlet macaws.
