Costa Rica is in the business of surreal, secluded destinations but the Osa Peninsula may just take first prize. Here, sublime beaches blend into a blanket of rainforest and there are adventure and activities of every kind. In the water, slip into the waves for a snorkel surrounded by incredible marine life, or take a boat ride into the Golfo Dulce to spot dolphins and whales. On land, hike into the forest and seek out tiny margay, ocelots, tapirs, jaguars and no less than four species of monkey, as well as the plethora of birds that flit amongst the trees. Then, enter the forest after nightfall for an entirely new cast of animals!
