Finca Retigre

For three and a half decades, Finca Retigre has proudly guarded its status as one of the final private primary forests, conveniently located within a short cycling distance from the charming town of Puerto Jimenez. Only a mere 8 kilometers separates this natural haven from the town, yet its striking beauty and unmatched majesty transport you into an entirely different universe.

Your journey to Finca Retigre is like a leaf torn from the pages of an adventure novel. A raw dirt trail lies before you, ready to be conquered on foot or by vehicle, leading to the serene Rio Tigre. A lush primary rainforest blankets the property, with multiple creeks nurturing its vibrant flora and fauna. Life at Finca Retigre can be equated to dwelling in a miniaturized version of the iconic Corcovado National Park.

Biological Marvels & Surrounding Oasis

The Osa Peninsula has been dubbed “one of the most biologically intense places on earth” by the esteemed National Geographic. It’s a place that cradles one of the world’s most pristine rainforests and boasts the title of Central America’s largest lowland tropical rainforest.

Nestled within the nurturing embrace of the rainforest, Puerto Jimenez is a modest fishing and tourist hamlet, home to around 3,000 individuals. This serene town serves as the principal launchpad to the Corcovado National Park.

The distinguished Corcovado National Park shelters the world’s only tropical primary lowland rainforest, sprawling magnificently over 41,000 hectares.

Golfo Dulce invites you to engage in blissful bird watching or to unwind along the shoreline of its several secluded beaches. Plentiful swimming and hiking possibilities abound, offering nature enthusiasts a golden opportunity to spot incredible wildlife.

Preservation for a Reason

Finca Retigre is more than just creeks, rainforests, and wildlife; it stands as a crucial pillar in the conservation arena, being the last private forest near Puerto Jiminez. A mere 2 miles southwest of this exceptional property lies Golfo Dulce. In 2018, in an effort to protect the scalloped hammerhead shark, the Costa Rican government declared the wetlands in northern Golfo Dulce as a sanctuary, forming a ‘no-take’ zone that spans 4,000 hectares. This marked the birth of Costa Rica’s first shark sanctuary. The Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve, a protected habitat that spans an impressive 149,500 acres, is an additional ecological marvel nearby.

This is not just a conservation property for sale. It’s an invitation to partake in an adventurous journey, a pledge to safeguard nature, and a promise of endless discovery. Step into the world of Finca Retigre and witness the symphony of life unfold!
