Osa · Costa Rica

Where to Stay in Carate, Osa

The southern gateway to Corcovado National Park, a remote coastal hamlet at the end of the road.

✦ The vibe

Wild, off-grid, and spectacularly isolated – expect howler monkeys and empty beaches.

👤 Best for

Serious nature lovers and adventurers; not for those wanting nightlife or shops.

🏨 Where to stay

A couple of eco-lodges and a basic hotel; mid-range to pricey for the remoteness.

🚇 Getting around

No public transport; you'll need a 4x4 or pre-arranged transfer; walkable only within the small settlement.

📍 Nearby

Corcovado National Park southern entrance, Carate Beach.
