This region of Costa Rica has conserved it natural wildlife and preserved the ecosystem of the Rainforest's. The primary Rain forest, Fauna and Flora are undamaged, thanks to the efforts of the government laws to protect and preserve the Magnificent natural resources.
The main Airport is located in San Jose, Costa Rica. Once in San Jose, you can reach Ojochal by 2 methods, vehicle or plane. You can fly from San Jose to Palmar Sur by Sansa Airlines.

You can rent a car from one of the many car rental companies located near by the San Jose Airport. They will be able to give directions to Ojochal. This is a beautiful 4 hour drive through the mountains (indicated on the map) or along the pacific coast. If you have never been in Costa Rica and experienced the roads.

The Unique Benefits at this House

The ultra-modern 85,000 square foot Hospital De Osa located in the town of Cortez, in Puntarenas, Costa Rica is now open. The hospital is the newest in Costa Rica and features multiple treatment facilities including a state of the art emergency room, a pediatrics wing, a neurology center and an obstetrics and gynecology center. The hospital will also provide family and internal medicine as well as a clinic for routine and preventative medicine. The location was chosen due to the large influx of Americans, Canadians and Europeans moving into the area and to replace the aging facility in Cortez believed to have been built by the United Fruit Company.
