OSA PENINSULA
The pristine rainforests and the rugged natural beauty of the Osa Peninsula make this region among the most beautiful areas in Costa Rica. Declared ‘one of the most biologically intense places on earth’ by the National Geographic Magazine, the Osa Peninsula along with Drake Bay, have today become one of the premier eco-tourism destination in the county.
With numerous luxury lodges, the Osa
Peninsula & Drake Bay, have superior eco-friendly resorts that will cater to your every whim.
Accommodations in this region offer tourists everything from some of the
most knowledgeable guides for
hiking the rainforest, to whale and dolphin watching tours, to simply
lying on the beach and relaxing in the sun.
There are also a number of
lovely affordable lodges here that cater to those travelers who are on a
strict budget. And with plenty of both pricey and affordable adventure
tours to choose from, this area lets you experience a completely different
lifestyle from the rest of the country.
The best way to visit the Parque Nacional Corcovado is through the town of
Puerto Jimenez. An excellent place to start hiking as an extensive network
of trails begin from here, there is a ranger station in town with detailed
information for trekking and camping in the park.
The
southern most peninsula in Costa Rica, the Osa Peninsula is a secluded
nature wonderland, playing home to many of the country’s rare and
endangered animal and bird species including the puma, jaguar, Harpy Eagle
and Scarlet Macaw. For details on arranging a visit to the Osa, contact CC
Vacation Services to take care of your every need!
With a large chunk of the peninsula forming the Corcovado National Park, this area has the single largest expanse of a lowland tropical rainforest in Central America and is one of the tallest rainforests in the world. A CC Vacations guide will not only keep you from getting lost, but we will also educate you on this incredible habitat.
If you do wish to explore this park, using a tour guide is your best bet as the Corcovado is also the home of Costa Rica’s most deadly snake, the extremely aggressive Fer-de-lance.
