The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica offers world class surfing with the Cabo Matapalo being one of it's undiscovered destinations due to it's remote access. While staying at Encanta La Vida Rainforest resort you cave easy access to this amazing surfing destination.

Surfing at Cabo Matapalo is a unique surfing experience. The ocean is clean and warm. The view of land is incredible, with scarlet macaws flying by and howler monkey calls echoing out of the forest. Because the breaks are inside the gulf, glassy conditions almost always persist. The good waves combined with lush vistas of the rainforest make this one of the most beautiful places you can surf.
