Mar & Tierra Tours is a family project born in the heart of Puerto Jiménez and La Palma, founded by Franciny Fallas and senior naturalist guide Leo Barrientos, who brings over 25 years of experience exploring and interpreting the unique ecosystems of the Osa Peninsula. Deeply rooted in local heritage as descendants of the region's early pioneers—brave gold miners whose history was captured in the documentary "Oro y Verdes Bosques"—we transform that legacy and passion for conservation into an exclusive, boutique tourism experience guided with care, safety, and a deep respect for the environment.
Specializing in sharing the true essence of the Osa, we know the trails, tides, and forests that make this region one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, and we are proud to welcome you into our home to show you the magic of our peninsula—both Mar (sea) and Tierra (land)—while directly supporting the local families and communities that make the Osa so special.
