Osa is one of the favorite tourist destinations in Costa Rica due to its large number of fun opportunities in the canton. Among them the panoramic views of the mountains of Muñeco in Cortés and Canopy tour city and its countless beaches such as the Arco beach and Ventanas beach which are very beautiful.

Humpback whales and dolphins migrate into the waters to calve, mate, and to rest. Whale watching is available along the coasts. Caño Island is part of Osa Canton.

Activities such as the festival of light take place in the canton, which also takes place in other areas of the country, and the August 2 viacrucis in honor of the patron saint of the Angels, of the cathedral of city Cortés. painters like Jordanny Trejos who have contributed to the development of art in the canton, cultural activities workshops are held every year in the canton.

The opportunities for whale watching are exceptional in Costa Rica, much more than in most other places around the world, and it is usually conducted in protected wild areas, such as the Ballena Marine National Park. The whale and dolphin festival occupies a special place in the inhabitants of Bahía Ballena, takes place during the whale watching season from the Antarctic Peninsula, and usually takes place in September.

As for the natural richness of the marine environments of Osa, it is necessary to highlight the particularity of the Golfo Dulce in which we find great marine depths at a very short distance from the coast, a unique phenomenon in Mesoamerica. This makes the Golfo Dulce somehow a kind of pot about 200 meters deep, which creates unique conditions whose biological wealth is barely beginning to be known. Humpback whales and dolphins are some of the species that attract the most attention. Mangroves play a decisive role in maintaining this wealth and economic of marine-coastal environments.
