Costa Rica Osa Peninsula 2025

20th November to 10th December 2025. 

SITREP 1 20 Nov

The Osa Peninsula expedition team, with members from Britain, America, Colombia, Australia, Canada and Costa Rica, has arrived in San Jose.

On 22nd November they will drive to the Osa Peninsula to aid the Ngabe people and refurbish a bridge built by the Scientific Exploration Society in 2015 in Corcovado Park. The timberwork has now rotted and is being replaced with recycled waste plastic planks which have been produced by the Costa Rican company Producol.

Engineers including two former Royal Engineers Colonels will work on the bridge and other projects. A Costa Rican dentist is also treating the local people.

Colonel John Blashford-Snell, President of the Scientific Exploration Society, will lead the expedition. The work is due to be completed by 8 December. The venture is organised by Pioneer Expeditions Limited and supported by the Scientific Exploration Society.
