Detailed County Road Map of
Osa Canton Costa Rica
Much of the Osa Canton is not actually on the Osa Peninsula. Extending
considerably north, all the way to the central Pacific Coast town of Dominical,
Osa Canton is primarily comprised the the lowland wetlands region of Costa
Rica's largest rivermouth delta complex at the confluence of the Terraba
and Sierpe Rivers.
Much of the forested area of the Sierpe region is part of the Golfo Dulce
Forest Reserve, and winds its way out onto the northern neck of the Osa Peninsula
including the famous Drake Bay, all the way to the northern borders of Corcovado
National Park.
The coastal highway, or Costanera, is a smooth modern paved highway from
Dominical through Palmar, the proposed site of Costa Rica's next major international
airport. A road leads from Palmar to the small town of Sierpe, but from there
boat taxis are the preferred method of travel to Drake Bay and Corcovado
on the northern Osa Peninsula.
