South Pacific region
The journey to the south is quite long and a bit boring
But then you will be rewarded. The south with the Osa Peninsula and the Corcovado National Park is one of the very special destinations in the country.
The entire south of Costa Rica is still relatively undeveloped. No industry, little infrastructure, small towns and lots of nature and jungle. The Osa Peninsula is home to the largest contiguous rainforest area in Central America, mostly the Corcovado National Park.
However, a little planning is recommended to visit this region. The good hotels and posadas only have small capacities, and access to the national parks is often limited.
We have some spectacular experiences in southern Costa Rica. Please write briefly to info@alautentico.com and we will be happy to share these tips.
