Toucans At Osa Mountain Village

We have loads of wonderful wildlife at Osa Mountain Village. If you are an avid bird watcher you will find more species than you may be able to count living on and around the property. The video below shows a pair of Toucans chattering away with another unseen pair as well as the amazing view from one vantage point on the property. There are so many amazing animals in the jungle around the village like Tolomucos, Pizotes (also known as Coatimundi), Scarlet Macaws, parrots and hundreds of other bird species.

Tours of the rainforest under the canopy are available for a nominal fee as well as a variety of incredible adventure tours like waterfall rappelling, ziplines, jungle camping and more. There is also a walking tour that is fantastic for young kids and adults alike which explains sustainable living principles which we call the People, Community & Planet tour. It will show you the permaculture area where food is grown for the community, how a biodigester turns human excrement into methane gas for cooking (kids love this), the chicken and egg production, green houses for fragile vegetables, the food forest where thousands of fruit trees and more have been planted and how it all works together to create a cycle of sustainability. It will open your eyes to ways you can treat the planet better back at home. Soon there will be a butterfly and hummingbird garden, single track mountain biking to the tune of 40 kilometers of trails, a jungle water slide and more on site as well. Off property tours include kayaking adventures, whitewater rafting and inner tubing and soon there will be scuba diving and snorkeling off Canos Island, ocean sport fishing, pontoon style boat mangrove tours out of Sierpe in one of the largest mangrove forests in the western hemisphere, whale watching and dolphin tours off the coast of Uvita and more. The things to do at Osa Mountain Village are limited only by your imagination. Take some time to find out more about the community and you may be the next resident of this amazing place people from all over the world are calling home.


Jungle Waterfall Rappelling To Re-Open Soon

The jungle waterfall rappelling tour was closed last year for some renovations. It will re-open soon with an even better tour with bigger waterfalls that were not included in the original tour. A new waterfall that measures 130 meters, or approximately 425 feet is included in the new tour. The tour will start out with smaller waterfalls to build the confidence of those taking the tour and end with the monster. Listen to what one woman had to say about the waterfall/zipline combination tour before the addition of this new waterfall…

“Just wanted to let you guys know how much Ben, Taylor and I enjoyed the waterfall rappelling tour. We’ve traveled to various locations and always seek out the adventure tours and your tour surpassed anything we have ever done…by far! It wasn’t just the waterfall rappelling which was incredibly exhilarating, it was also the trek through the muddy rainforest, wading through the river, the Tarzan swing and the ziplines! Your tour was a bargain for all the adventure we experienced. My only regret is that I didn’t have a waterproof camera to capture the events of the day! Thanks so much for making your tour the highlight of our vacation. We hope to see you again next year!”

Osa Hiking Tours is proud to be re-opening this incredible tour in its enhanced new form. Join them for an incredible day.


New Adventures On The Osa Peninsula

Osa Canopy Tours opened their doors for business last August and was an immediate success. After 8 months of building one of the best zip line canopy tours in all of Costa Rica they were ready to let the public take a ride. It has been less than a year since they did their first tour and in May of 2010 they gave over 400 people the ride of their life.

The tour consists of 15 platforms, 11 cables, 3 rappelling stations all designed in an eco-friendly manner that allows the trees and platforms to grow together. The first zip line on the tour is 450 meters long! That’s almost half a kilometer and people that have taken the tour claim it is one of the best zip line tours in all of Costa Rica.

Osa Canopy Tours is offering a waterfall rappelling tour on the Osa Mountain Village property as well. They offer a combo tour that gives you both tours at a discount and an option to stay overnight too.

The video below shows Christian, co-owner and guide, launching from the first platform. Reserve your spot on the tour by clicking the Reservations link above.
