The Peninsula of Osa is located in the South of the country, on the Pacific coast. Almost the whole peninsula is covered by rainforest, protected by the Corcovado National Park. Due to its incredible biodiversity, this rainforest ranges among the most interesting jungles in Central America. Thanks to the difficult access, the Corcovado National Park is responsible for the survival of many endangered species of animals. Over millions of years, this ecosystem also has developed some endemic species of plants and animals. There are some lodges along the coastline, and they offer guided hikes through the jungle, where you can find over 100 species of trees within just 1 hectare of land. Excursions to the Caño Island, located in front of the peninsula, are also part of the trip. This small island is covered by jungle, too, and used to be a famous place for pirates long before our time. Caño Island offers excellent snorkeling and diving, thanks to the protected reefs.
As a base for this roundtrip choose from five different lodges:
Marenco Lodge, Aguila de Osa Inn, Poor Man's Paradise and Pirate Cove.
Marenco Lodge and Aguila de Osa Inn have the same program, from/to San José, and including excursions.
Poor Man's Paradise and Pirate Cove we offer as a less expensive option from/to Sierpe and without excursions. The program is the same. Flights and transfers can be booked upon request; excursions can be booked and paid for directly at the respective lodges.
We will pick you up at your hotel in San José and drive to the local airport of San José. During a 40 minutes flight you will enjoy a spectacular view of the Pacific coast. In Palmar Sur you will be picked up by a bus and drive to the small village of Sierpe. On the following boat trip through the mangroves of Río Sierpe you can observe a great variety of birds and with a bit of luck, crocodiles and other animals as well. The last part of the ride will lead along the coast of the Osa Peninsula. Arriving at the lodge you might get wet because due to the waves. The rest of the day is at you leisure.
Included meals: dinner
After breakfast you will enjoy a full day excursion to Caño Island, located 45 minutes by boat from the lodge. Your guide will show you around the island, which once used to be an important pirate hiding out. This is also where the mysterious, completely round stones where found. The afternoon will be at leisure: enjoy snorkeling around the reefs of the island or relax on the beach. Return to the lodge and overnight.
Included meals: breakfast, boxlunch, dinner
After breakfast take a guided hike through the Corcovado National Park. To get there, we need to take a boat to the ranger station, from where we start hiking the rainforest trail network. We will visit a waterfall and enjoy a box lunch during this trip.
Included meals: breakfast, boxlunch, dinner
We will bring you back to your hotel in San José the same way, by boat, plane and bus.
