South Pacific & Osa Peninsula Info |
| Many describe The Southern zone of Costa Rica and Osa Peninsula as the final frontier of this tropical paradise. Costa Ballena (Whale Coast) stretches from the surfer favorites Dominical and Uvita down to the French-Canadian dominated Ojochal and Playa Ventanas. The Osa Peninsula is a remote area that contains Corcovado National Park. Scienists from all over the world come to study the rich biodiversity of this region. Many simply come to relax in a sea-side hammock in front of a Drake Bay bungalow. The east coast of the Osa Peninsula is home to Puerto Jimenez, which is known as a "wild west" type of area. Playa Carate is located further South and is favored by many celebrities. |
 The Location of the Osa Peninsula is the Southwest corner of Costa Rica. There are very few paved roads in this region. Most visitors to this region choose to take a domestic flight rather than driving. Flights are available to Palmar Sur, Drake Bay, Carate, and Puerto Jimenez

 **Los Vagos Restaurant (Not to be confused with the Las Vegas Restaurant, which is also in Sierpe) is a small Italian owned restaurant in Sierpe. This restaurant is hands down, our staff's # 1 recommended eatery in Costa Rica. Do not be confused by the plastic tables and chairs. Emi and David (the owners) of this local favorite are highly trained chefs that chose a simpler way of life. While enjoying your meal, laughter will be plentiful as David entertains and Emi shares her light hearted humor.
