As long-time residents and pioneers of tourism of the Osa Peninsula, we have a special intimacy with the area. Our experience gives us the flexibility to handle the special needs of groups and/or individuals. We pride ourselves for giving visitors an opportunity to explore one of Costa Rica's most remote and interesting regions in a safe and comfortable manner. Marenco continues to support research and education providing affordable rates to students and researchers and by implementing a system of hiring resident biologists who also work as nature guides.

Marenco has a unique, non-traditional approach to conservation and tourism. We believe that business and conservation interests can, and must, work together toward the preservation and wise use of tropical areas. We also hope to bridge the gap between conservation and tourism; to help develop an awareness of the delicate balance and intricacy of natural systems. This is the reason why the scientific community is backing efforts of tourism to organize and conduct tours in which an appreciation of ecology and nature, as well as beautiful scenery and recreational activities are featured.
