Peninsula de Osa

The "Peninsula de Osa" is located in the extreme south western corner of the country, directly west of "Golfito".

It's home to the world renowned "Corcovado National Park" which contains approximately 3/5's of the peninsula's land mass. This is the largest remaining protected tract of "Pacific Coast Rainforest" left in the western hemisphere. The wildlife here is absolutely extraordinary, the plant life more diverse than you will find anywhere in the world, and the butterflies and birds will just blow you away.

There is a ridge of large hills that run down the center of the peninsula offering spectacular views not only of the wide open "Pacific Ocean" but also of the calmer "Golfo Dulce". These hills are the sources of the many

pristine rivers that flow to the "Pacific" or "Golfo Dulce" and are just loaded with giant river shrimp, known locally as langostino. 

Some of the best marlin, sailfish and tuna are caught within 15 miles of our shores. There are also a number of good and consistent surf breaks, some would even say great. The beaches are fantastic with hardly ever anybody on them, privacy almost all the time.

The main town of the peninsula, "Puerto Jimenez", offers the infrastructure (bank, post office, telecommunications, airport, port and bus depot) necessary to engage in vacation pastimes as well as pursuing business interests. There are a variety of bars and restaurants which offer good value for the money as well as an interesting night life. We recommend:

La Choza del Manglar - Tropical Inn, Restaurant and Bar with daily visitors of the four legged species. An Oasis in the Heart of Puerto Jimenez.

The peninsula has managed to maintain it's cultural integrity and individuality while at the same time welcoming visitors graciously.
