A must-visit for lovers of wildlife, this tropical rainforest covers almost half of Costa Rica's Osa Penninsula. It's one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet, home to pumas, jaguars, crocodiles, tropical birds, sea turtles, and most exciting: all four of the country's species of monkeys. If you go, book a stay at one of the many eco lodges just on the outskirts of the park in the towns of Drake Bay or Puerto Jimenez.
