The Osa Peninsula, or the Peninsula De Osa as it’s known in Costa Rica, is the very embodiment of a tropical hideaway. Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean, this destination is equal parts remote and rugged, with a wild expanse of rainforest and beaches that offer the ultimate secluded getaway for those wanting to venture off the beaten path (and be rewarded accordingly).
"For me, the Osa Peninsula is a must when visiting Costa Rica. Home to 2.5% of the world's biodiversity it is one of the best places to experience pristine rainforest and see a large variety of wildlife. The area is remote and takes a little bit of extra effort to get to, but it is very much worth it."

FAQs
-
When thinking about your trip, you may be wondering when is the best time to visit Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula.
Thanks to its tropical climate and proximity to the equator, Costa Rica enjoys hot and humid weather most of the year. It also has distinct dry and rainy seasons, which can affect when you choose to travel. We’d recommend planning your Osa Peninsula holiday between December and April when the days are typically a bit drier.
The Osa Peninsula is renowned for its teeming wildlife, and the best time to see many of these incredible animals is in spring and summer. The months between September and January see a lot of rainfall, which makes it difficult to spot wildlife during this time and can affect other outdoor activities.

The Osa Peninsula is located in the far southwest of Costa Rica, off the Pacific Ocean coast (as opposed to the Caribbean coast on the other side). The main town is Puerto Jiménez, which is where you will most likely arrive to begin your trip.
If you look at a map of the peninsula, you’ll see that there are very few roads, which is why some resorts and lodges can only be reached by boat. Reaching the area itself also requires some planning. While there are two airports in the region - one in Bahía Drake and one in Puerto Jiménez - these are only accessible once you’re in Costa Rica. We recommend you fly into San José and catch a connection there.
