Imagine landing in a place where scarlet macaws soar overhead as you step off the plane, and the world’s most biodiverse rainforest stretches endlessly before you. Welcome to Puerto Jiménez, Costa Rica’s best-kept secret and your gateway to one of the planet’s last untouched wilderness areas – the magnificent Osa Peninsula.

Why Puerto Jiménez Should Be Your Next Adventure
Tucked away in Costa Rica’s remote southwest corner, Puerto Jiménez isn’t just another tropical destination – it’s a living laboratory of biodiversity that makes the Amazon look tame. The Osa Peninsula, accessible primarily through this charming frontier town, contains an astounding 2.5% of the world’s entire biodiversity on just 0.001% of the planet’s surface. Here, you’ll encounter all four of Costa Rica’s monkey species, over 400 bird species, and countless other creatures found nowhere else on Earth.
This isn’t your typical beach vacation. Puerto Jiménez is where serious adventurers come to experience nature in its purest form, where jaguars still roam free and ancient trees tower over pristine beaches. It’s Costa Rica’s last frontier, and arriving by air with Costa Rica Green Airways is the most spectacular way to witness this transition from civilization to wilderness.

Must-Do Experiences in Puerto Jiménez
Corcovado National Park stands as the crown jewel of your Puerto Jiménez adventure. National Geographic called it «the most biologically intense place on Earth,» and accessing this pristine wilderness is nearly impossible without flying into Puerto Jiménez. Trek through primary rainforest where tapirs leave footprints on remote beaches and poison dart frogs flash their brilliant colors among the undergrowth.
The Golfo Dulce offers world-class dolphin watching in one of only four tropical fjords on the planet. These warm, calm waters host resident bottlenose dolphins year-round, plus seasonal visits from humpback whales. The contrast between the protected gulf and the wild Pacific creates unique marine ecosystems perfect for snorkeling and diving.
Don’t miss the night wildlife tours that reveal the forest’s nocturnal secrets. As darkness falls, the jungle comes alive with sounds and sights invisible during daylight hours. Spot kinkajous, ocelots, and the legendary fer-de-lance snake while learning about the intricate relationships that keep this ecosystem thriving.

Puerto Jiménez proves that remote doesn’t mean roughing it. The area boasts some of Costa Rica’s most innovative eco-lodges, many accessible only by small aircraft. These luxury accommodations showcase the perfect marriage of comfort and conservation:
