if you ever get a chance...

Go here: Matapalo, known for some of the best surfing in Costa Rica. Located on the Osa Peninsula in southwest Costa Rica on the Pacific Ocean, Osa is known as one of the most biologically intense places on earth, and home to at least half of all species living in Costa Rica. Whales, turtles, flocks of macaws, monkeys, insects... they were all there in this rugged part of the country that also makes up part of the Corcovado National Park. We stayed at an incredible place called Ojo del Mar, completely off the grid. No electricity, candles for light, completely sustainable, eco-friendly and run by a charming German woman from Munich named Nico, who also wrote a book on sustainable living. Definitely one of the coolest trips ever!
