Time is always short when on holidays. So better fly to our S Pacific. You cover the 230 miles (368 km) to Puerto Jiménez, on Dulce Gulf, in 1 hour to get to the star of the area: the Corcovado NP in the SW corner of Osa Peninsula.

The Corcovado NP aims at protecting the last portion of the Tropical Humid Forest of the Region. It covers a surface of 105,000 acres (42,000 ha) with hot, rainy and very humid climate and protects 8 habitats home to thousands of flora and fauna species, many in danger of extinction, such as the Red Macaw, the Jaguar (felis onca in Latin) and the Crocodile. Services available: nature trails, drinking water, toilets, camping areas and wonderful and huge beaches.

The near quiet community of Carate was until 1985 a place where gold miners used to meet and stay.
