Welcome to our tours page of Costa Rica. You are about to set foot in one of the world’s most beautiful ecological gems. The land which Christopher Columbus named the “rich coast” is now seen as one of the safest and most progressive countries in South America. The only thing to be found in Costa Rica is the Pura Vida (literally “pure life”), an optimistic zest for life in all circumstances… The Costa Ricans (or Ticos for insiders) are constantly cheerful and welcoming to visitors! Costa Rica was also the first nation in the world to dissolve its army, a testament to their commitment to peace and prosperity above all else. It is regularly classed as one of the top countries for standards of living, and has a remarkable development model that prioritizes education, health care and protection of the environment. If you are a nature lover, you will find yourself in heaven… Costa Rica is a pioneering country in the field of ecotourism, and has an extremely rich biodiversity. Several unique species can be found in some of the country’s 33 national parks and reserves: no less than 25% of the Costa Rican territory is protected! To visit Costa Rica is to discover a wild paradise in which people are truly happy – what more could you want?

I strongly advise you to travel to the Osa Peninsula by boat, for two reasons: it's the fastest way of getting there and you'll have the chance to sail through dense mangroves on the way – an unforgettable experience! For travellers looking of a tropical paradise, the Osa Peninsula really has it all: a still well-preserved rain forest, heavenly beaches, and the look and feel of a desert island (outside the main tourist season).There are various activities available on and around the peninsula, such as diving at&nbsp;Caño Island, fishing, wildlife watching, etc. The jungle of Bahia Drake and the unmissable Corcovado National Park are a hiker's dream.Take the time to fully see and appreciate this place. You'll feel as if you're one with nature and you'll really enjoy the the peace and tranquility the Osa Peninsula has to offer.

The Osa Peninsula is located on the Pacific coast of southwest Costa Rica and is home to one of the country's most incredible national parks: Corcovado.

The second largest peninsula in the country (after the Nicoya), the Osa peninsula is mainly taken up by the Corcovado National Park. Green and dense, this park has the largest rainforest on the Pacific coast. Here, you'll find an amazing range of rare species, such as tapirs, jaguars (and that's why you shouldn't go out alone) as well as spider monkeys. Diving fans will love the coasts around Cano Island, an ecological reserve that has amazing marine life where you can see porpoises, shoals of rays and reef sharks. And if you're looking for great surfing spots and sandy beaches, then head towards the Pacific side of the peninsula (the beaches at Sirenas and Corcovado).
