Puerto Jimenez is the hub of your Osa vacation and is called the Gateway to the Osa Peninsula.  The town is one of the main gateways to the beautiful Corcovado National Rainforest . The last town before one can enter the park premises; a main ranger station is situated here with many tourists using this town to stock up on supplies before they trek their way through the gorgeous and diverse wildlife that the tropical rainforest has to offer.

Situated in the Golfo Dulce, Puerto Jimenez has a wonderful beach, only 300 meters from your home away from home,  where one can relax while taking in the superb beauty of the Osa Peninsula.  You will be close to some  awesome surf breaks.

With a history of being a key gold mining and logging town before the Corcovado National Park was created, the locals in the area still log and mine gold here, but in much smaller numbers as this entire region is now a protected habitat. In and around the Puerto Jimenez, there is much to see and do. Sport fishing excursions can be arranged, while for the more adventurous, hiking, rappeling, mountain biking and kayaking tours are on hand. If you prefer a more tranquil relaxed holiday, take a dolphin watching tour of the lovely Golfo Dulce and the Pacific, or simply sit on the beach to view some of the most amazing sunsets in all of Costa Rica.

If you are interested in partying here do be careful, as by night Puerto Jimenez tends to get a bit rowdy. However, the nightlife here is pretty good. During the day you can explore this small town and its surrounding environs to catch a glimpse of the rare and beautiful Scarlet Macaws as they fly overhead. With some world class angling, eco tours are the major draw of this town where you can spot upto 4 different monkey species and many brightly colored birds.
