Should be Spent in a Rainforest
When you think of a romantic vacation, what comes to mind? Stereotypical spots like Paris, Tuscany, Hawaii, Bali, Fiji, multiple destinations in The Caribbean, Santorini and other Greek islands? But what about the rainforest? Though a rainforest destination might not conjure up images of romance in your mind, if you’re in the right kind of rainforest location, you’d be surprised to discover just how romantic it can be. Where is the right kind of rainforest? At the very southern tip of Costa Rica’s remote Osa Peninsula. What’s so special and romantic about the rainforest of the southern Osa? Read on! [[I advise including an image of a map showing the Osa with the southern rainforest, i.e. you guys, pinned. Something like this:]]
- It’s secluded.
Osa’s southern rainforest is the antithesis of an overcrowded over-tourism location. In fact, unless you are with a guided tour or group, you’re unlikely to see many other human beings at all. Imagine walking along a half-mile stretch of Pacific Ocean beach, enveloped by the rumble and mist of the surf, with no one else around. Or sitting in a comfortable chair on a perch nestled in the forest with an unobstructed view of the ocean. All so romantic! If you’re a couple who appreciates privacy and few crowds, you are certain to find that in the southern Osa. - A captivating, almost magical destination.
The southern Osa’s secluded location means it’s off the beaten path and not easy to reach. As the road you travel transitions from pavement to gravel to rutted clay and rock, so too will your mind transition from life’s hustle-bustle to a completely different frame of reference. You will sense the other worldliness of this rainforest place that feels so untouched by humankind. The air thrums with an energy that doesn’t exist elsewhere, the energy of so many forms of life. For such a small land mass, the Osa Peninsula is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, estimated to be home to 2.5% of global terrestrial biodiversity. The longer you’re there, the more your mind awakens to this enlivening sensation. It is an incredibly powerful aphrodisiac. - Experience a symphony of the senses.
Talk about stimulating your sensation, the southern Osa arouses all five senses! Your eyes will gaze upon some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets where oranges, reds, yellows, purples, and greens mesh in perfect harmony. Your ears will take in sounds ranging from the lull of the ocean waves, to the meditative rushing water of multiple waterfalls and streams, to the cacophony of wildlife at dusk and dawn. Textures abound in trees, plants, flowers — many of which are safe to touch – as well as in the earth below your feet from dirt to pebbles to sand to soft humus. You will smell the moisture of the rainforest, the salt of the ocean air, and the musk of many living creatures, and all this tropical bounty produces incredible fresh flavors for you to also taste and enjoy. Simultaneously ignite all your senses and kick-up your romance! - Abundance of wildlife.
In the Osa Peninsula rainforest, the wildlife cannot be understated. Many people can’t even imagine seeing so much wildlife anywhere but in a zoo. To see so many lifeforms fill the treetops, tree trunks, low-lying plants and bushes, the forest floor, the waterways and ocean – all in their natural, unadulterated habitat – is a nature lover’s and photographer’s dream. With over 600 endemic bird species and 250+ migratory ones, this area of the world is a birdwatcher’s bucket list location. Sharing such a special place with your loved one is the epitome of romance. - Plenty for the adventure seeker types.
Perhaps you and your significant other are more into adventure. The southern Osa rainforest fits your profile, too! There’s hiking, ziplining, waterfall rappelling, surfing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, kayaking, mountain biking, boating, and horseback riding. Every experience – even if you’ve done it before elsewhere – feels like you’re discovering something new. Pretty much the only adventures you won’t find here are winter sports! - Restorative powers and meditation.
When you’re ready to disconnect from your everyday world, wind down, and recenter, the southern Osa rainforests cannot be a more perfect location. Upon arriving here, you will encounter its restorative powers. Its isolation and solitude are forms of natural meditation. This energy will fuel creativity and passion. You might be lucky to get caught in a rainstorm: let Nature wash away your worries, frolic, embrace, kiss, and afterwards, help each other dry off. For those whose Love Language is quality time, time together in the rainforest will be highly rewarding. - Unique & completely different.
Some people revel in the unique – being where few have been before or will ever be. If that describes your sense of romance, come to the rainforest of the southern Osa. It is off the beaten path, not simple to get to, extremely unique in every way, and highly romantic for all the other reasons listed above!
