EXPERIENCE THE OSA PENINSULA
Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, a former island that now makes up the southernmost reach of the country’s Pacific coast, was called “the most biologically intense place on Earth” by National Geographic. 2.5% of the planet’s biodiversity fits into just 0.001% of its surface area. The pristine rainforests and rugged natural beauty of the peninsula make this region among the most beautiful areas in Costa Rica. It is a secluded nature wonderland, playing home to many of the country’s rare and endangered animal and bird species, including squirrel monkeys, jaguars, and other forest cats.
