Excursions
"Our favorite occupation is introducing folks to the diversity and beauty of the rain forest."
We offer guided tours customized to your interests and time. A half-day walk, with an experienced guide and naturalist, is highly recommended to enrich your rain forest experience."
The wilderness of the Osa Peninsula is waiting for you.
Grab your cameras and binoculars and lets go!
We want to show you one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse places on earth. Abraham, who has been walking the mountain trails of this peninsula for over 35 years, loves to share his accumulated knowledge of the trees, plants, birds, reptiles, frogs and mammals of the rainforest. 
There are a wealth of trails to choose from covering a wide variety of terrain and habitats. Excursions can be made locally in the Reserva Forestal Golfo Dulce (the equivalent to the US National Forests), Parque Nacional Corcovado or our private reserve as well as to other points of interest on The Osa Peninsula. We make a point of using the less traveled trails so you may experience the rainforest in the most natural and wild state.
In addition to hiking, birding and nature walks there are many other activities to choose from, Horseback riding, recreational gold panning, mangrove kayaking, river tubing and mountain biking. We can also arrange trips to a botanical garden, tree climbing and waterfall repelling, canopy tours, and flights to other areas on the Peninsula de Osa.
Anyone can take advantage of our guiding services whether they are a guest of the lodge or staying at another facility on the Osa.
For a partial listing of available activities and rates, please see our Activities page.

POPULAR TRIPS
Another popular trip is the one way hike to Carate passing the small, mountain gold mining town of Piedras Blancas. This is a beautiful 7 to 8 hour walk through mostly primary forest in and on the edges of Corcovado Park This hike is for physically fit individuals. Return taxi to Puerto Jimenéz is $30 extra. Minimum of three people is required. There is now a collective taxi which lowers the cost of the return transport substantially. Please ask if you are interested. The morning bird walk, the night frog walk and Abraham's medicinal plant tour are extremely popular options. These run between 1-3 hours.
