Osa Peninsula is situated on the southwest coast of Costa Rica very near the border with Panama This is a wonderfully remote area and the biodiversity here is quite striking Corcovado National Park takes up about a third of the peninsula Within the park is the largest primary forest on the American Pacific coastline Primary forest means it has not been logged and replanted it is original growth On the northwest coast of this peninsula is Drake Bay Condos for sale in Drake Bay Costa Rica will have wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean to the west and behind them the tropical forests that occupy the peninsula
The British explorer the Spaniards would call him a pirate Francis Drake set out with a fleet of ships to sail around the world in 1577 and on the way harassed Spanish shipping from the New World He also anchored at what is now Drake Bay which is where this bay gets its name Drake Bay condos are excellent investments because the eco tourism of this region will only increase in the years ahead Whale watching off the coast is a major draw and one can travel further down the peninsula by boat for some excellent surfing at Cabo Mataapalo There are a handful of luxury resorts in the area but the town itself is not yet well developed
