COSTA RICA: CORCOVADO & OSA PENINSULA

VIEW ALL COSTA RICA TOURS

Rugged and unspoiled, Corcovado National Park and The Osa Peninsula is undoubtedly Costa Rica’s wildest region and best destination for wildlife.

Corcovado National Park and the Osa Peninsula need no introduction. Famously labeled by National Geographic as ‘the most biologically intense place on earth’ it has become a mecca for nature and wildlife enthusiasts alike. It is the best place in Costa Rica to see the Baird’s Tapir and one of the only places you can see Scarlet Macaws in the wild. The incredible biodiversity of the area supports good populations of many other endangered species including the giant anteater, the harpy eagle and myriad bird life. Tucked away in the remote south of the country a visit to the Osa Peninsula is a highly memorable experience.

“Costa Rica is a great place to visit. John helped us enjoy it by putting our tour together with us. He listened to what we do and don’t like doing, and was able to offer his own insight into the various places based on his own experience so the trip worked to see different places and environments and be a practical proposition in the time that we had available. Once there the arrangements he had made worked well, and he remained contactable when we had questions to ask. While we were away we met with other travellers for whom he had arranged a tour. We agreed that we were very happy with all that had been done for us.”
