Investing in the Osa Peninsula
One of the most biodiverse regions on earth. Patrimonial investment backed by conservation and extremely scarce supply.
Costa Rica's most singular asset: Corcovado, Drake and Cabo Matapalo.
The Osa Peninsula holds 2.5% of the planet's biodiversity. Corcovado, Drake Bay and Cabo Matapalo are global references for conservation and high-end ecotourism.
For investors this means unique properties, structural scarcity and a highly qualified buyer profile. Investment is patrimonial and long-term, with flows tied to hospitality or conservation.
The destination for investors seeking an irreplaceable asset with a strong environmental narrative.

Key risks in the Osa Peninsula
Identifying them upfront is what separates a sound acquisition from a problematic one. We address each in due diligence.
Protected Wild Areas
Farms fully or partly inside Corcovado, Piedras Blancas or refuges. Buying without diagnosis is extremely risky.
Wetlands (Térraba-Sierpe)
Absolute restrictions in Ramsar wetland; SINAC verification is essential.
Air/river access only
Drake and remote areas depend on specific logistics. Tourism operations must factor this in.
Illiquid market
High tickets and specific buyer profile. Exit horizon longer than average.
Legal framework specific to the Osa Peninsula
Corcovado National Park and surrounding refuges restrict land use; environmental due diligence is critical.
Maritime-Terrestrial Zone and municipal concessions (Golfito / Osa) depending on location.
Coordination with MINAE, SINAC, SETENA and municipalities; in Drake / Sierpe wetland regulations also apply.
Structure: local vehicles with foreign backing when applicable; relationship banking is essential.
A five-step process to invest without surprises.
Every acquisition follows the same control flow. Before any funds move, you know exactly what you are buying and under what terms.
1 · Due diligence
Title, cadastral, environmental, zoning and tax. Written report with findings and risk traffic light.
2 · Legal structure
