Concierge.com's insider take:
The remarkable Corcovado National Park is what draws adventurous types to the Osa Peninsula on the Pacific coast (506-2735-5036; www.costarica-nationalparks.com). This remote area is incredibly rich in biodiversity, with the largest primary tropical rain forest in the region and an incredible array of animals and birds, from pairs of scarlet macaws to pods of pilot whales which hug the shores during their migration. There are abundant eco-lodge accommodations around here, from simple wooden cabins with shared bathrooms to luxurious villas with every amenity, such as Lapa Rios. Because this region is so remote, arrange your lodgings in advance. Towns like Puerto Jimenez—the last before you reach Corcovado National Park, and a good base—are best reached by plane rather than via a torturous ten-hour drive from the capital. Catch flights to the local Palma Sur airport from San José through SANSA (about 45 minutes; 506-2290-4100; www.flysansa.com) or from Pavas through Nature Air (about 50 minutes; Nature Air; 506-2299-6000; www.natureair.com).
