Optional Extension to the Osa Peninsula

The Osa Peninsula is located on the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, is a world premier rainforest destination dubbed one of the most biologically intense places on earth by National Geographic. The pristine peninsula is bound on the northwest by Drake Bay, on the west by the Pacific Ocean, and on the east by the Golfo Dulce. The Osa Peninsula offers breathtaking, untouched scenery, secluded beaches, and abundant wildlife encompassing lush primary rainforest and a complex system of freshwater and marine resources. 

It is one of the most remote, wild, and untamed areas in Costa Rica. Of the nearly 2 million visitors to Costa Rica each year, just a tiny percentage of them plan a trip to the Osa Peninsula.  For nature and wildlife enthusiasts it does not disappoint!
