Nestled between the Osa Peninsula and
Costa Rica’s south Pacific Coast is
Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf), a large bay ringed by rivers, secluded
beaches, and the Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve.
Most of the lowlands surrounding the Golfo Dulce are characterized by
tall
evergreen forest. The area near Golfito includes some of the
highest-storied (100 - 140 ft) forests in Central America. One of the
wettest places
in the world, the region receives an average annual rainfall of 150 -
200
inches.
The Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve protects forested lowland areas
surrounding the Golfo Dulce Costa Rica and the Osa Peninsula, Pacific
Coast of Costa
Rica. These are fragmented, dense evergreen forests which provide a
biological
corridor, connecting multiple wildlife refuges and national parks
surrounding
the Golfo Dulce Costa Rica. The calm waters along the beaches and bays
of the Golfo Dulce Costa Rica
have great attraction to tourists seeking peaceful swimming, wildlife,
nature
and birdwatching.
