Are you looking for activities that allow you to immerse yourself in the local culture and that are not related to sport fishing? Here are some ideas for touching the history and customs of this beautiful country.
Explore the surrounding nature
Trek to Corcovado
-
La Sirena 1 day : This is the most popular option for visitors. This trek from Puerto Jimenez includes round-trip boat transport to La Sirena station and a hike of approximately 4 hours during which you will have a great chance of observing tapirs, anteaters, 4 varieties of Costa Rican monkeys as well as many birds and other small local mammals. Depending on the period, you can even observe dolphins or whales during the boat trip.

You will be able to observe many birds as well as monkeys and small mammals but above all incredible flora to which your guide will introduce you.
-

You will then spend a night in the forest before resuming your route from Piedras blancas to the beaches of Carate (optional: 2nd night in the forest and trek to the La Leona station)
discovering sloths
These fascinating animals are very present in Costa Rica and the Osa Peninsula. However, without the discerning eye of a guide, it is not easy to be able to observe them.
We are fortunate to be able to offer you an intimate meeting thanks to a local family who has managed to preserve their natural environment. In 2019, Katia's family discovered a sloth in the heart of their finca for the first time. Since then, this welcoming family has been happy to share their happiness with travelers.
You will be able to observe many sloths in their natural environment, it is neither a park nor a refuge. Here the sloths are free, they arrived on their own and have not decided to leave the place. They evolve at their own pace without human intervention.
An unforgettable experience that ends with a feast of exotic fruits and delicious empanadas cooked by the family grandmother.
With My Fishing Trip, participate in the preservation of Costa Rica's turtles
Concerned about animal welfare and the environmental impact of humans on Costa Rica's flora and fauna, Aurélie and Gréogry from My Fishing Trip join forces with a preservation group: Tortugas Preciosas de Osa in Costa Rica. By staying at the Nueva Vida lodge, depending on the season, you may also be able to help the association by helping to release young turtles on the "Playa Preciosa" beach at Puerto Jimenez.
These outings make it possible to finance the equipment necessary for the preservation of turtles on the peninsula.
