SOUTH PACIFIC

The Osa Peninsula

An area of immense beauty the Osa Peninsula is one of the most remote areas of Costa Rica. If you want to get away from people and enjoy the rainforest this is the place to head for. Your first view will be of what looks like a floating island - an intricate mix of blues and greens sheltered by long graceful trees. You will need at least three days to see this area properly. Furthermore you have a choice of wonderful lodges, some of which are amongst the top in Costa Rica. Others are more adventure based but all are supremely comfortable and right in the middle of the wilderness.

Corcovado National Park

The National Geographic has called this Park “the most biologically intense place on earth” - Deserted beaches, waterfalls, birds and wildlife - it is exceptionally beautiful. The heights and density of the trees have been compared to the Amazon, whilst it is also one of the few places outside the Amazon where you have a good chance of seeing flocks of Scarlet Macaws in their natural habitat. There is even a chance of seeing a jaguar - there can be few areas in Central America that are so untouched.
