Osa Peninsula Travel Guide

The Osa Peninsula is located in the southwest corner of Costa Rica, a region a bit off the tourist track. The region has lush primary rain forests and a complex system of freshwater and marine resources.

With an assisted land acquisition of 86,485 acres in 1975, The Nature Conservancy helped the Costa Rican government create the more than 100,000 acre Corcovado National Park on the western part of the peninsula. In 2000, The Nature Conservancy renewed efforts in the Osa Peninsula after identifying the region as a priority site.
