Search flights from GLF to PJM
Osa Peninsula
One of the most biologically intense places on Earth, featuring unbroken canopy cover and rugged terrain.
Pacific Entrance
The wide mouth of the gulf where the deep blue Pacific waters merge with the calmer waters of the fjord.
Platanares Beach
A stunning stretch of dark sand and palm trees visible during the final descent into Puerto Jimenez.
The right side is superior for spotting the Osa's famous coastline. During whale season (August to October), look for Humpback whales near the mouth of the gulf. Since this is a short hop, keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff.

Piedras Blancas National Park
Dense primary rainforest that stretches from the mountains directly to the water's edge on the mainland.
Golfito Bay
A view of the sheltered harbor and the historic town of Golfito nestled at the base of steep hills.
Inner Golfo Dulce
The calm, deep waters of the tropical fjord, often showing silhouettes of marine life from above.
Choose the left side for better views of the mainland's steep coastal topography. The morning sun (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM) highlights the emerald greens of the Piedras Blancas rainforest without significant glare.
