Selva Connections exists to be a part of your authentic, hands-on Costa Rica jungle & cultural experience. We’re your local experts of the Osa Peninsula, which National Geographic refers to as “the most biodiverse intense place on Earth.”

Whether you’re an expert backpacker or a novice hiker, Selva Connections has packages tailor-made for people of all ages, interests and difficulty levels.

Why Visit the Osa Peninsula?

The Osa Peninsula occupies just 3% of Costa Rica’s total area, but is home to over 250,000 (more than 50%) of its animals and plant species, including 323 you won’t find anywhere else on Earth. It also has the most significant wetland ecosystem and mangrove forests in all of Central America, and some of the most breathtaking views you’ll ever see.

Our tours explore Osa’s more remote regions and let you truly get away from it all. You’ll get to choose from one of our multi-day jungle trekking adventures, visit amazing pristine areas for the day, or immerse yourself in the cultures of our local people and communities.
