Two words perhaps best sum up all that a Costa Rica vacation has to offer: 'pura vida', or 'pure life'. Blessed with stunning natural beauty, thrilling adventures, friendly locals and a laid-back lifestyle, this tiny Central American country offers the perfect distillation of life's simple pleasures. A nature-lovers paradise, Costa Rica is home to 13 major ecosystems, including lowland rain forest, highland cloud forest, jolillo palm forest, and mangrove swamp as well as coastal marine and beach habitats. No region on Earth of similar size has the diversity of life found just off our doorstep.

Blue Osa is located about 8 miles south of Puerto Jimenez on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, which 'National Geographic' Magazine once famously labeled "the most biologically intense place on Earth", on the border of the world-renowned Corcovado National Park. Here, on the warm shores of the Golfo Dulce, on your Eco Tours you have a good chance of spotting some of Costa Rica's shyest and most endangered inhabitants, including jaguars, scarlet macaws, harpy eagles, and the red-backed squirrel monkey.
