Osa Peninsula, Nature peninsula in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica
The Osa Peninsula extends into the Pacific Ocean, containing 276-meter elevations and extensive rainforests bordered by the Golfo Dulce to the east.
The geological formation of the peninsula resulted from a complex faulting system that continues northward through Central America into California.
The Boruca people inhabited this land before colonial times, creating stone walkways and agricultural fields throughout the peninsula's territory.
Puerto Jimenez serves as the main entry point to the peninsula, offering an airport and access routes to coastal settlements like Cabo Matapalo.
The peninsula houses fifty percent of Costa Rica's total species, including 400 bird species and numerous mammals in Corcovado National Park.
