The Matapalo Tour

Explore a completely different side of the southern Osa! This fantastic, thrilling, safari-like tour places you in the open air in the back of an El Remanso 4×4 truck, up and out of the rainforest, through the lowland pastures, and onto the nearby, eye-popping famous surf beaches of Matapalo. Expect to sight monkeys, Scarlet Macaws, and other exotic tropical birds along the way. You might even get to see a sloth! At Matapalo, a little-known gem but considered one of Costa Rica’s best surfing spots, you’ll take in the surf culture and see avid surfers “hanging ten” and more on some of the region’s best surf breaks.
