the South Pacific Coast

T he Osa Peninsula´s Corcovado National Park for example, has been called by National Geographic ¨the most biologically intense place on Earth¨, with endless stretches of deserted beaches and immense uninhabited rain-soaked forests teeming with fauna and flora which make for magnificent viewings and encounters, making this truly an unforgettable place to visit. As a visitor you have many places to choose from for your stay and from which to organize your visits of discovery. Marenco Biological Reserve, Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve, and Corcovado National Park as well as Piedras Blancas National Park and Golfito National Wildlife Refuge are just some of the places offering plenty to see. Corcovado for example can get over 25 feet of annual rainfall! At higher elevations, and where there is lots of water, you will find a plethora of wildlife including Central America´s largest population of scarlet macaws and over 155 reptile species and more than 400 species of birds, definitely a nature lover´s paradise. Sportfishing, diving, surfing, whale and dolphin watching tours, bird watching, sailing and other water sports, canopies, nature treks on foot and on horseback and much more are all here just waiting for your very own voyage of discovery. The South Pacific Coast is an area that ex- tends from Dominical in the North, past Uvita and Ojochal all the way to the Osa Peninsula and Golfito in the South. This long stretch of beautiful coastline is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas of Costa Rica as it concen- trates much of Costa Rica´s natural beauty.
