Puerto Jiménez ‘City’ Tour
Visit the nearest town to Lapa Rios, and the oldest in the Osa Peninsula, to gain insight into daily life in this remote region.
Learn about its history, from the gold rush era to today’s conservation efforts, while exploring local landmarks, shops, and stopping at traditional sodas and artisanal food stands.
On Saturdays, the visit includes a stop at the town’s farmer’s market, filled with local produce, handmade goods, and community connection.
From Gold Rush to Conservation
You’ll finish the tour by visiting a small family farm where heart of palm is sustainably cultivated by three remarkable women.
One of them is Eida Fletes, one of Costa Rica’s first female naturalist guides. Born in what is now Corcovado National Park, Eida shares her story of life before conservation reached the region.
