Osa Peninsula & Golfo Dulce Holidays
The Golfo Dulce separates the Osa Peninsula from the mainland Costa Rica and, though not as well-known, this area also boasts incredible biodiversity and some excellent eco-lodges. The region is also home to Parque Nacional Piedras Blancas, a stunning tract of rainforest that used to be part of the Corcovado National Park. It is now designated a separate park but still it connects with Corcovado to form a vital and ecologically diverse biological corridor.

WHERE TO GO IN THE OSA PENINSULA & GOLFO DULCE
Osa Peninsula
The Osa Peninsula is a nature lover’s paradise. The peninsula is home to more than half of all wildlife species in the country, and boasts Corcovado National Park, considered by many the crown jewel in all of Costa Rica’s national parks. As you spend time here you will experience first hand the incredible diversity of flora and fauna - with over 400 species of birds and an array of amazing mammals and reptiles it's impossible not to! From your lodge, watch vibrant scarlet macaws and beautiful toucans fly overhead, colourful lizards scuttling around and wake up to the unmistakable cry of howler monkeys! It's simply magical.
Corcovado National Park
Corcovado National Park encompasses 40% of the Osa peninsula, contains over 250,00 species and was dubbed by National Geographic as ‘the most biologically intense place on earth’. The park is home to coatis, monkeys, vibrantly hued tree frogs, flocks of scarlet macaws - the list goes on. All visitors have to explore the park with a guide however this is in no way a negative thing. The experienced local guides have a amazing detection skills and can spot even the most elusive forest residents, as well as knowing the best trails and which habitats certain creatures prefer.
Golfo Dulce & Piedras Blancas National Park
Nestled between the Osa Peninsula and Costa Rica’s south Pacific Coast, Golfo Dulce, meaning ‘Sweet Gulf’, is a large bay ringed by beautifully rugged beaches and backed by dense rainforest. The bay is calm which makes it ideal for activities like kayaking and paddle baording, and pods of dolphins can often be found splashing around in the water. The region is also home to Piedras Blancas National Park, one of the last remaining stretches of lowland rainforest on the Pacific, where you will be sure to see a vast array of flora and fauna. This densely forested park links to Corcovado National Park and is home to an astonishing amount of wildlife.
