About us
.jpg)
Manuel was born in the heart of the Osa Peninsula in the family finca of Piro. Miguel, his father, revealed to him all the secrets of the rainforest. It was his playground.
Very young, he became interested in wildlife photography. He became the foundation’s photographer and presented his work in personal exhibitions in the United States.
A few years ago, Manuel initiated a sea turtle protection program on the Platanares / Preciosa beach.
After a passionate and exciting but stressful professional career in France (real estate, communication, politics…), Pascal wanted to change his life. He chose the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica for its exceptional natural wealth, the beauty of its landscapes, its people and the policy of sustainable tourism development.
Manuel and Pascal first met through their passion for nature and this region. They got married and now want to share their little slice of paradise and their knowledge of this incredible region with you.
"We invite you to share our little corner of paradise and our passion for Osa. Our goal is to offer you a unique experience in an exceptional natural setting".
We welcome you to Finca Terra Incognita as friends. We like meeting people, exchanging ideas, discussing… We favour simplicity and conviviality.
Our greatest pleasure is to exchange our experiences and our knowledge of the region.
We can organize for you activities on the site or nearby. We can accompany you and reveal the secrets of the peninsula according to your interests and wishes. We can also be very discreet and let you enjoy our little corner of paradise.

Our eco-friendly approach
We try to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible.
Our energy is 100% solar. Our cleaning products are organic. The meals are prepared with products from the garden and/or local and organic. Waste is sorted and recycled. The food waste feeds the hens or is composted. The furniture is made by a local craftsman with local fallen wood. The building materials are ecological. We replant many "native" trees in and around the property, on the beach and in the mangrove. We maintain and clean the beach. We have set up a program to protect turtle nests on the beach. We participate in many local environmental protection programs. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
We participate in the preservation and promotion of local heritage and culture.
We are very active in valorisation and promotion of the natural and cultural heritage of the region. We are particularly active outside the Peninsula but always in close contact with the local population.
We support the development of the local economy.
We promote the regional economy by giving priority to local suppliers. We offer activities organised by guides or family & local tourism companies. We use local products for the preparation of meals. We favour local employment.
