[more]General'Come see Costa Rica as you always imagined; wild, beautiful and unexplored. Be one of the lucky few to scuba dive in the pelagic rich waters of Caño Island or explore one of the last remaining virgin lowland tropical rainforests of Corcovado National Park. Splendidly isolated in the tiny community of Drake Bay, Costa Rica, Jinetes De Osa is a friendly beachside retreat one hours boat ride down the jungle lined banks of the Sierpe River. Here the nature lover can enjoy a fantastic variety of life both above as well as below the water with the original PADI dive center in the area (Costa Rica Adventure Divers). Upon arrival, you can immediately enjoy secluded beaches, deserted waterfalls and walking among one of the largest nesting populations of Scarlet Macaws in Costa Rica. So leave the hectic pace of the modern world behind and come explore with us at the Jinetes De Osa resort.The Jinetes de Osa naturally fits into the life of Drake Bay, as if it were a part of the landscape. The resort consists of three buildings located on the beach and twenty acres of rain forest. Currently, the resort has 11 rooms in two of the three buildings and a dining room and kitchen in the third. During the months of December-May you can eat your breakfast on the deck of the dining room while watching the humpback whales migrate across the bay. The rooms are simple, comfortable and clean. At night, the fresh tropical breeze carries the sound of the ocean into your room; a most effective cure for stress based insomnia. Fresh baked bread, fresh fish from the local fishermen, and wonderfully ripe local fruits (you can't get fruit this fresh, ripe, or juicy in the States for love or money), supplement the Mexican and Italian dishes served in the dining room. It just may be the clean air, the exercise, or the fact that you just picked the juiciest mango on a hike around the bay, but food simply tastes better on the Osa Peninsula.Compressed in the city, time begins to expand here. Days begin early, as the sun spectacularly rises at about 5:00am every morning. The cool comfortable mornings are the time for activities, horse back riding, beach combing, fishing, hiking, swimming and scuba diving all begin early (see the activities page). The evenings come early for the local inhabitants who don't own generators, most of whom are generally asleep by 9pm. No matter how long your stay, you will be amazed how quickly the relaxation sets in. You will find yourself waking up without an alarm clock at first light; and feel great doing it. There are no scientific studies to explain why the visitors experiences this sense of physical and mental well being. Many contribute it to the abundance of oxygen. The rain forest has often been called the lungs of our planet. They take in carbon dioxide and emit an enormous amount of oxygen. Due to the proximity of the rain forest the concentration of oxygen in the air is higher than many places in North America. Certainly, this surplus of oxygen is one major factor contributing to the body's general well being. '
