Rancho Raices de Osa

We are a local family farm, we do home made traditional chocolat and we share all about our culture, traditions, fruit trees, cultivations, animal farm and more !!!

Reviewed By Eagar4Nature

This was a wonderful tour given by a beautiful Costa Rican family who share their chocolate farm experience directly with you. They let you and your kids participate as much as you want in the whole chocolate making experience. The guide Herman was very knowledgeable about native plants that he grows on his farm and their various uses and you get to sample many along the way. If you visit the Osa peninsula I highly recommend you visit this family and support their tour! Covid has hurt many families like this in Costa Rica who depend on ecotourism and I recommend you support a beautiful family like this over some ecotourism corporation.

Ave Azul de la Osa is a federally licensed Avicultural compound, supporting conservation through captive propagation.Owner / Director of Ave Azul de la Osa, Patrick S. Dunn was director of Kauai Zoological Gardens and curator of birds for 8 years while managing the parrot park for near 17 years simultaneously. Now with Ave Azul he prevents endangered birds from extinction.

A trip to Osa is not complete without meeting Patrick. If you want to meet a true ambassador of the natural world then you must take the adventurous road to Ave Azul de la Osa. Patrick's wealth of knowledge, his impressive birds and his extraordinary museum of specimens were a highlight of our time on the Osa Peninsula. Our three boys were in awe of his commitment to rehabilitation and conservation as well as his extensive experience with and knowledge about birds, snakes, and insects. We highly recommend, to anyone who has the chance, to drop in and have a visit.

Corcovado National Park

Reviewed By prl16

I just hiked in Corcovado National Park the week of March 19, 2019 and it was amazing. Lots of wildlife, a pristine primary forest, and a great waterfall that is nearby the ranger station. It is a good idea to hire a guide to take you through the forest, especially if you are unfamiliar with what to watch out for (like army ants for example) or want more info about the birds and mammals (including many monkeys) you are seeing.
