Golfo Dulce Costa Rica

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.
