Corcovado & Osa Peninsula Trips & Tours

The brightest jewel in Costa Rica’s crown and a perfect rainforest experience in every way

Make the intrepid journey down the spectacular Osa Peninsula to the rainforests of the Corcovado National Park and we guarantee you won’t be disappointed. How could you be in the place that National Geographic calls the most ‘biologically intense’ on Earth? Remote, rugged and wild, the peninsula is one of the most isolated places in the country, but that’s all part of the appeal. Covering almost half of it are the pristine forests of Corcovado and it’s here, residing under the canopy and chattering amongst the leaves, that a selection of vibrant and varied birds, mammals and reptiles dazzle even the most hardened wildlife expert. We’re talking all four species of monkey and two species of sloth, jaguar, puma, crocodiles, tanagers, tapirs, harpy eagles, endangered scarlet macaws… We would be here for hours to list them all, but suffice to say, the wildlife watching is really, really good. But, it doesn’t end there. Wend your way through the jungle to the ocean to see bottlenose dolphins in the Golfo Dulce (and whales in December and January), snorkel, and kayak through the tangled mangroves. If we had to choose one place to visit in the whole country, it would undoubtedly be Corcovado…

Places to Visit

What to do in Corcovado & Osa Peninsula

Costa Rica is in the business of surreal, secluded destinations but the Osa Peninsula may just take first prize. Here, sublime beaches blend into a blanket of rainforest and there are adventure and activities of every kind. In the water, slip into the waves for a snorkel surrounded by incredible marine life, or take a boat ride into the Golfo Dulce to spot dolphins and whales. On land, hike into the forest and seek out tiny margay, ocelots, tapirs, jaguars and no less than four species of monkey, as well as the plethora of birds that flit amongst the trees. Then, enter the forest after nightfall for an entirely new cast of animals!

The best scuba diving is at Drake’s Bay, an isolated spot of empty beaches and plenty of coral reef. You can also boat to the marine reserve, Isla del Caño, but make sure to book in advance as visitor numbers are limited.

The weather up here is wet, wet and wetter – but really, it just adds to the atmosphere! Embrace the water, but take care on the hiking paths especially in the rainy season.
