Tour companies are a wonderful means by which you can explore a country. Tours can not only take you to the popular resorts and vacation destinations, but they can also help you discover places not on the tourist map. A superb way to enjoy a fun-filled getaway with nothing to worry about, tour companies take care of your every need to ensure that your vacation is truly a memorable one.

South Puntarenas is the ideal for those who are looking for a getaway with a difference. Perfect for the traveler interested in ecotourism, vacationing in South Puntarenas combines tourism with the preservation of nature to provide a first rate holiday destination. Rainforest hikes, kayaking tours, bird watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, mountain biking, and dolphin and whale watching, are just some of the many activity options one can enjoy out here.

The Osa Peninsula regarded by many as one of the most biologically intense places on Earth is found in South Puntarenas. Home to the Parque Nacional Corcovado and the Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve, this region also plays host to many rare and endangered wildlife species. A key habitat for the Scarlet Macaw, jaguars, tapirs, coatis and peccaries are among the many animals that can also be found out here.

While a number of tour companies can be found in the Drake Bay area, you can also find tour agencies in Puerto Jimenez and Golfito. Stay in Drake Bay to explore the entire Osa Peninsula as well as the Isla del Caņo, while if you are keen on touring the Golfo Dulce, Puerto Jimenez is your best option. Golfito is a fantastic place for a fishing tour, while surfing aficionados can find some of the best breaks in Pavones or Cabo Matapalo. If you would like to visit the Piedras Blancas National Park, the Wilson Botanical Garden or the Parque Internacional La Amistad, staying in Golfito or Playa Zancudo is a good idea.

Tour companies are a wonderful way to explore South Puntarenas as much of this region is pretty remote and secluded. Tour companies here not only arrange your accommodation and excursions, but they also plan your transportation to and from San Jose as well. Be sure to look for a tour operator affiliated with the Costa Rican Tourist Board and always ask for a bilingual guide. Most of the tour companies in South Puntarenas usually require an advanced booking, as this region is fast becoming an ecotourist hotspot.
