Hi there,
Thank you so much to both you and Daniel and everyone at El Remanso for taking such good care of us. Your staff was also truly amazing – incredibly kind and generous.
The whole way back the kids just wanted to have us turn the car around and return to “heaven”. Since we returned home the kids still want to go back (and so do the parents).
Your place was our favourite for our trip to CR and hopefully one day we can visit you again.
Best best,
Michal, Michel, Alon, Adi and Amitai.
Puerto Jimenez
by admin on Jun.09, 2008, under Surroundings
A quiet remote town in the 1960’s, Puerto Jimenez has grown to become one of the largest towns on the Osa Peninsula today. Located in the southern part of the Puntarenas province, this laidback town is one of the main gateways to the beautiful Corcovado National Park. The last town before one can enter the park premises; a main ranger station is situated here with many tourists using this town to stock up on supplies before they trek their way through the gorgeous and diverse wildlife that the Corcovado National Park has to offer.
Situated in the Golfo Dulce, main gulf of the Osa Peninsula, Puerto Jimenez has a wonderful beach where one can relax while taking in the superb beauty of the Osa Peninsula. This tiny ‘frontier’ town has a good number of hotel and resorts, both affordable and luxurious, with many rental tour companies and travel agencies in the area from where trips around the region can be arranged. Transportation can also be organized from Puerto Jimenez, while if you get bored you can head out to the lovely remote village of Cabo Matapalo, which is famous in the region for its awesome surf breaks: the best of the Osa Peninsula.
With a history of being a key gold mining and logging town before the Corcovado National Park was created, the locals in the area still log and mine gold here, but in much smaller numbers as this entire region is now a protected habitat. In and around the Puerto Jimenez, there is much to see and do. Sport fishing excursions can be arranged, while for the more adventurous, hiking, rappeling, mountain biking and kayaking tours are on hand. If you prefer a more tranquil relaxed holiday, take a dolphin watching tour of the lovely Golfo Dulce and the Pacific, or simply sit on the beach to view some of the most amazing sunsets in all of Costa Rica. This part of the Osa Peninsula is simply a treasure to be seen.
If you are interested in partying here do be careful, as by night Puerto Jimenez tends to get a bit rowdy. However, the nightlife here is pretty good. During the day you can explore this small town and its surrounding environs to catch a glimpse of the rare and beautiful Scarlet Macaws as they fly overhead. With some world class angling, eco tours are the major draw of this town where you can spot upto 4 different monkey species and many brightly colored birds.
You can get to Puerto Jimenez either by bus or car. However, it can be as long as a 10-hour drive so, it is better to fly in to the domestic airport out here from San Jose International Airport. Flights also come in to the airport here from Pavas as well. If you are interested in visiting the Osa Peninsula, Puerto Jimenez is the town you don’t want to miss.
