It is a bright and beautiful morning when we set off to find the namesake of the Costa Ballena. Each of the visitors on the small boat unconsciously holds their breath to be able to follow any call of the whales

OSA, LIVING WITH THE ESSENCE OF NATURE
Living with the essence of nature. If you long to be one of the lucky ones who call Osa their home, I invite you to contact my office with any questions you have about how to make this irresistible idea a possibility for you, too.

THE COMMON POTOO King of Camouflage
The Common Potoo or staking bird (Nyctibius griseus) protected by its excellent camouflage spends the day resting at low altitude, sometimes even on fence posts

THE PATH OF THE TAPIR
Living in the Path of the Tapir is not only fascinating, but it is also a special privilege that I hope we all appreciate and work to perpetuate.

You can find the neotropical bird snakes or bird-eating snakes in the Costa Ballena. They are non-venomous snakes that are active during the day
