Península de Osa: The Absolute Essentials

The Osa Peninsula contains one of the world's most intense biological corridors, anchored by Corcovado National Park. This remote region features the Sirena Ranger Station, a hub for spotting tapirs and pumas, and Drake Bay, the primary maritime entry point. Protected areas like the Preciosa-Platanares Wildlife Refuge and Jardin Botanico Herrera preserve primary rainforest and coastal habitats, while King Luis waterfall offers a 100-foot drop into a jungle pool near the peninsula's southern tip.
