Description
The northern Osa starts at the village of Sierpe, continues west along the Río Sierpe and the Sierpe Delta and south along the Pacific Coast to Corcovado Park. In general, the forest to the south of the Río Sierpe is contiguous throughout the region thereby allowing for the flora and fauna to be very robust: "… the most biologically diverse location on earth" – National Geographic. Osa is translated as “bear” and the peninsula is so named because of the three types of “ant bears”, or anteaters, which inhabit the Península.
The village of Sierpe is 15km west of the Inter American Highway and airport at Palmar. The village has docking facilities for lodge and charter boats and serves as the primary entry and transfer point of the northern Osa. Directly adjacent lodges use a landing strip at Drake Bay for guests seeking the challenge of small aircraft landing and departures over the ocean. There is also a four wheel drive trail, used for lumbering and poaching among other activities, which connects Drake Bay with the eastern Osa village of Rincon.
Boating westward down the Río Sierpe is a rewarding experience: crocodiles, caimans, monkeys (howler, white-faced and squirrel), sloths, boa constrictors, parrots and many other birds and animals can be seen from the boat within a 10km area near Sierpe. Beyond 10 km the river broadens and the terrain is mainly the mangrove of the Sierpe/Térraba Mangrove Reserve (more than 80,000 acres).
