YOUR SANCTUARY
IN A REMOTE WILDERNESS 6
YOU HAVE CROSSED THE THRESHOLD into a harmonious place of immense natural wonders, astonishing vistas, sumptuous suites, and the finest services and amenities, artfully extended. Botánika Osa Peninsula, Curio Collection by Hilton caters to passionate travelers seeking adventure, discovery and authentic experiences.
THE STORY OF BOTÁNIKA IS ROOTED IN ITS LAND Entangled in an endless embrace of beauty and mystery, it’s no wonder the explorers of National Geographic magazine named the Osa "the most biologically intense place on Earth." Costa Rica is a small country representing just .01% of the Earth’s landmass; however, it is home to 5% of our planet’s biodiversity. Now, picture yourself in the Osa Peninsula where more than 1 in 40 of the world’s plant and animal species are concentrated right outside your door.
The happyplanet.org has named Costa Ricans to be amongst the happiest people in the world year after year. It’s no wonder considering the country’s safe democracy, outstanding health care, robust life expectancy and exceptional well-being with a focus on outdoor living and connecting with nature.
National Parks and protected areas account for 25% of Costa Rica's land mass 2,000 species of butterflies | 850 varieties of birds | 150 species of amphibians 219 species of reptiles | 205 species mammals | 10,000+ species of plant life Four species of monkeys | Four different species of endangered sea turtles Largest population of scarlet macaws north of the Equator
WHERE WILDLIFE WANDERS
YOU WILL
WONDER
BOTÁNIKA COMES TO FRUITION as a result of more than a decade of careful planning with an effort to minimize the impact on the land. Botánika’s landscape designers are giving back by working with local experts to replace non-native foliage with native species to reestablish migratory trails and enhance existing biological corridors — both on the ground and in the trees — so wildlife can flourish and make themselves at home here, too. It is here that you can enjoy 3mi/5km of nature trails on the property.
A WORLD APART
YET EASY TO GET TO BOTÁNIKA THRIVES IN THE FRIENDLY HAMLET of Puerto Jiménez, a welcoming village where you can live comfortably in a tight-knit community of artists, fishermen and families. With grocery stores, banks, restaurants, a government operated medical clinic, and even a gourmet organic ice cream parlor, Puerto Jiménez is a safe, small town where living is easy. It is also easy to get to! With multiple regularly scheduled domestic flights connecting Puerto Jiménez (PJM) to the new Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) in San José, which welcomes direct international flights from North and South America, as well as from across Europe. Botánika is conveniently located near the Pan-American Highway which can take you wherever you want to go. Or perhaps just indulge in some duty free shopping which is a short ferry ride to Golfito. Our on-site travel agent can help you arrange your domestic flights to and from Puerto Jiménez.
WHERE THE WORLD
COMES TO FISH There is no stronger attraction to or greater symbolism of the Osa Peninsula and the Golfo Dulce than our epic sport fishing. It's no wonder this is where avid anglers from all around the world come to fish. 14
FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES Crocodile Bay Resort has called this majestic place home—creating a legendary sport fishing program with breathtaking views and natural surroundings as its backdrop. Today, Botánika continues to honor this sport fishing tradition and the beauty of Golfo Dulce as the beloved resort evolves into Crocodile Bay Marina, the closest full-service international marina to the Panama Canal. Guests at Botánika can enjoy world-class offshore, inshore & kayak fishing just a few steps from your suite. Learn more at www.CrocodileBay.com
