The Costa Rica Most Tourists Don’t See 🇨🇷 | Osa Peninsula

What is it actually like to live in one of the wildest and most biodiverse corners of Costa Rica? In this video, we're taking you beyond the resorts and tourist hotspots and into our life on the Osa Peninsula, a place we've been coming back to for years and now call our second home. We're sharing the Costa Rica we've come to know: wild beaches with hardly anyone around, scarlet macaws flying overhead, monkeys outside the house, crystal-clear waters of Golfo Dulce, local food, everyday grocery runs, tropical storms, our first surfing lesson, a border-shopping trip to Panama, and a few adventures that definitely didn't go according to plan. And, of course, we're taking you to Matapalo, the beach that completely stole our hearts. This isn't a guide to seeing Costa Rica in seven days. It's a glimpse into what life here feels like when you stay a little longer, slow down, and let this place become part of your everyday life. 📍 *FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO* Osa Peninsula • Puerto Jiménez • Golfo Dulce • Playa Blanca • Playa Juanito Mora • Matapalo • Paso Canoas • and much more 🏄 *Surfing with Anthony:* https://www.cacaosurfmatapalo.com/ 🏡 *Emily's Jungle House:* airbnb.ca/h/emilyshome 🍴 *Places we recommend:* Osa peninsula guide https://maps.app.goo.gl/EhPeCbTUXuQEw... *CHAPTERS* 00:00 Intro 00:20 Getting to Costa Rica 02:15 Pasa Canoas 03:51 Everyday Life in Costa Rica 06:26 Food & Groceries 08:19 Restaurants & Eating out 12:10 Exploring the Osa Peninsula 18:36 Wildlife 20:16 Facing my dream 22:22 Beaches of Golfo Dulce 26:15 Learning to Surf 29:00 Matapalo Beach 37:14 The Journey Home 🇨🇷 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS COSTA RICA VIDEO:    • The truth about building a home in Costa R...   *FIND ME HERE* Instagram:   / valentyna.okh   TikTok:   / valentynaokhota   Business inquiries: valentyna.okh @ gmail.com #CostaRica #OsaPeninsula #CostaRicaTravel #airbnbhost
