Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Golfo Dulce in the southwestern region of the country. This virtually untouched corner of the world contains almost half of Costa Rica’s wildlife species, offering nature lovers the chance to see exotic animals, birds, reptiles and amphibians in the rainforest of the Corcovado National Park. The surrounding waters invite visitors to surf, snorkel, fish, or simply relax on the white sandy beaches before retreating to the rustic Puerto Jimenez, the largest settlement in the area, for a good night’s rest.
