Casa Jungua is located in the southern most peninsula in Costa Rica, the Osa Peninsula, which has become a premier eco-tourism destination for the most discerning travelers. The Osa Peninsula is a secluded natural wonderland and home to more than half of all animal and bird species living in the country, including many of the its most endangered – Puma, Jaguar, Spider Monkey, Harpy Eagle, Baird’s Tapir, Scarlet Macaw and the White Lipped Peccary.

The Osa Peninsula is also home to more than 750 species of trees, 117 species of reptiles and amphibians, 370 species of birds and over 120 species of mammals. The surrounding oceans are home to many species of whales, dolphins, sea turtles and fish.

Corcovado National Park is the largest national park in Costa Rica and protects about a third of the Osa Peninsula. It is widely considered the crown jewel in the extensive system of national parks and biological reserves spread across the country. The ecological variety is quite stunning. National Geographic has called it “the most biologically intense place on Earth in terms of biodiversity”. Not only is the park very popular with tropical ecologists, but a visitor can also expect to see an abundance of wildlife during a visit here.

Casa Jungua has its own 10 acres of jungle. Much of the wildlife you would see at the national park are regular visitors to Casa Jungua.
