BOW Destinations - Costa Rica: Wild & Off the Beaten Path 

Becoming an Outdoors-Woman's friends at Green Edventures want to lead you on the adventure of a lifetime! Join 13 adventure buddies on this amazing women-only Costa Rica nature tour to the Osa Peninsula. Lesser known, and a bit more complicated to get to for the average tourist, the southwest corner of Costa Rica is one of the most bio-rich places on EARTH, and we want you to come join us!

You will experience one of the few places in the world where all three species of monkeys, big cats, and tapirs still roam…wild! Here lush jungle meets black sand beaches, scarlet Macaws streak across blue skies, Howler Monkeys are your morning alarm clock, and your natural rhythms are restored by sunrises and sunsets.


Daily adventures will take us by foot, paddle, and snorkel to see and learn about animals and plants of the Osa Peninsula. Your guide Pepé is an amazing storyteller and will use his vast knowledge and gift of teaching to share with you the complex relationships of plants and animals in the rainforest. He is an expert at spotting animals and will give participants unforgettable guided nature walks. You will feel like you are discovering the rainforest like a true explorer.
