Discover Osa Peninsula & Costa Ballena
Costa Rica's South Pacific coast is home to some of the most pristine wilderness left on the planet. The Osa Peninsula, called "the most biologically intense place on Earth" by National Geographic, harbors Corcovado National Park — a vast expanse of primary rainforest where jaguars, tapirs, and scarlet macaws roam freely.
Paired with the Costa Ballena (Whale Coast) region around Uvita, this area offers world-class whale watching from July through October, pristine beaches shaped like a whale's tail, and access to the underwater wonderland of Caño Island. Drake Bay and Puerto Jiménez serve as gateways, easily reached via 1-hour domestic flights from San José.
