Join a Wild Cat Research Expedition!

We have just started to support a really interesting project called the Wild Cats Conservation Project. The Wild Cats Conservation project began in 2006 to determine the status of feline populations and their prey on the Osa Peninsula. This project uses cameras and video equipment to catch wild cats in action, allowing us to study their behavior and population densities in order to better protect and save these highly endangered species.


We are currently offering a tour through the rain forest with biologist Aida Bustamante that allows guests to install and review camera traps that will generate relevant photos and data important to the survival of these precious creatures. Visit www.osaconservation.org for more information.

Native plant’s workshop in the Peninsula!


Next week we are having a workshop for all the ecolodges in the area about the importance of using native plants in our gardens, which is really important at this moment in the Peninsula because many places are using exotic plants in the landscaping. Of curse, our garden and sustainability coordinator are attending this interesting workshop.
