of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula

unique and fortunate position

in the southern Pacific region
of Costa Rica, this 600+ acre

Peninsula is one of the most biologically
diverse places on earth.Boasting

species of birds (with several
endemic species ), 117 species
of reptil es, and almost 10,000
species of insects,the peninsula

National Park, known as the crown
jewel of the Costa Rican national
parks system. Bosque del Cabo

natural splendor. At the end of

rainforest to the tranquil beauty

wildlife species. Residents of
the area include flocks of macaws,
toucans, and parrots. Monkeys,
coatis, kinkajous, agoutis, and

pumas, jagarundis, ocelots and
jaguars) are spotted on the property.
