    Biodiversity all around the place Views[241] Art from Mother Nature Views[229] Of the best things in my trip was to find quantity of wild life, always in his natural envoriment. The peninsula possesses one of the deepest gulfs of the world, the ¨Golfo Dulce¨, characterized for being a cradle of hundreds of dolphins, spotted (Stenella attenuata) and bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) dolphins,looking for adventure in my way to the point of snorkel with Thomas, we meet a big group of dolphins, two bottlenose dolphins swam close to our boat for a couple of minutes, incredible, mammals intelligent and worth admiring, it is possible to estimate his beauty on having gone out to take little air before submerging again. Views[283] Thomas is a captain and local fisherman of the ¨Golfo Dulce¨, Osa Peninsula is his home for more than 60 years. In my trips of expedition I believe that be mixed wih the environment and especially with the local poeple is the most important, they do of your trip an authentic and a real experience. During my stay in the peninsula, Thomas took me to a hike for 7 hours in the Piedras Blancas National Park and along the way he told me he has been bitten by two poisonous snakes and in his words ; ¨I´m still alive and complete¨ but he respects and love wildlife more than ever. Views[240] Traveling in Central America, I found a country that took my breath away. With over 25% of its territory protected in conservation areas and national parks, the Costa Rican territory is a lively place and biodiversity. Taking a small plane to the southwest of this Central American country from the capital city San José, in the search for the wild life on the Osa Peninsula, I found in my way with the Térraba & Sierpe mangrove forest, the biggest of the whole region, an impressive sight of his rivers of fresh water terminating in the Pacific Ocean , mangrove containing a large number of species, such a surreal landscape and an unforgettable experience for my eyes.
