OSA PENINSULA
Gaze upon multiple marine, river, and rainforest habitats and their resident wildlife during this fascinating boat tour across the gulf from Puerto Jimenez and upstream into the towering rainforest-draped Esquinas River. Rio Esquinas originates in the pristine Piedras Blancas National Park before emptying into the Golfo Dulce, one of the world’s few tropical fjords. The gulf waters around the river mouth are teaming with dolphins, manta rays, flying fish, reptiles, and whales if the season is right. And hundreds of bird species occupy the coastal mangroves and jungle foliage around the river—a must-see for birders and wildlife enthusiasts.
