Being slightly more difficult to reach than Costa Rica’s other prime coastal destinations make the Osa Peninsula ideal for those wishing to escape the bigger crowds and explore the country’s world-famous natural beauty. Although host to a few high-end properties, the remote, protected and underdeveloped nature of the peninsula make it one of the wildest, most diverse and unexplored regions of Costa Rica with simpler accommodation options overall. The area is home to the Corcovado National Park, where visitors can hike and mountain bike through its lush river valleys and vast virgin rainforests; the notable Drake Bay, accessed by boat; and the brightly-coloured reefs and deserted tropical beaches of Caño Island and Golfo Dulce, havens for snorkelling and sea-kayaking and whale watching (in season).
Best experiences
Take a gold mining and trapiche tour
Learn from local expert Don Juan the artisan technique for collecting gold with the traditional catcher and canoe. Afterwards, head to a trapiche, a traditional sugar mill, where raw sugar cane is converted to molasses with the use of oxen or horses.
Hike Corcovado National Park
Take a boat to, perhaps, Costa Rica’s most famous national park in search of wildlife. Hike the trails of San Pedrillo to reach to a beautiful waterfall and cool off with a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear water.
Snorkel around Caño Island
Take a 45-minute boat ride to the Caño Island Biological Reserve for some excellent snorkelling and marine life viewing where, depending on time of year, you could see humpback whales, dolphins, manta rays, turtles and white-tipped sharks.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
