Osa Peninsula & Golfo Dulce Holidays

Hidden away in the southwest of the country and described as one of the most biologically diverse places on earth, the captivating Osa Peninsula and remarkable Piedras Blancas National Park are absolute must-see destinations for nature enthusiasts.

Adjacent to the Osa Peninsula, the magical Golfo Dulce, meaning ‘Sweet Gulf’, is a large bay fringed by beautifully rugged beaches and backed by dense rainforest. The waters of the Golfo Dulce are home to over 20% of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast marine life including hawksbill turtles, dolphins and migrating humpback whales.

Generally accessed via a short flight from San José, followed by a scenic but bumpy drive (or a boat trip), the journey is part of the adventure when travelling to the Osa Peninsula! The properties here are set in the jungle with wildlife all around and offer an immersive nature experience. Most lodges are located in private reserves with trails you can explore unguided, as well as offering excellent and diverse excursions with naturalist guides.
