In the south-west of the country, the gulf of the Osa Peninsula is still little visited. Yet it is a treasure trove of biodiversity. Adjacent to neighboring Corcovado Park, it’s a paradise for macaws and birds of all kinds. Monkeys are omnipresent, and tapirs and anteaters frequently roam the area.
At sea, humpback whales calve and raise their offspring safe from predators, and dolphins live here year-round.
Fishing is a veritable religion in the region.
The Osa Biological Corridor connects Corcovado Park with Piedras Blancas Park via the Golfo Dulce forest reserve. Here, wildlife roams freely, and what can be seen in Corcovado can also be seen in Puerto Jimenez or Golfito, covering 4,300 km2, or 8% of Costa Rica’s surface area!
