In January of 2008, we were privileged to have the Costa Rican President, Oscar Arias Sanchez, as our guest. I invited the President to stay at Luna Lodge because he had never before been to the Osa Peninsula. I wanted him to have the experience of physically being in the Osa Peninsula's rainforest to really appreciate its value. He brought a delegation of friends and Costa Rican leaders with him including Costa Rica's Minister of Environment, the director of the "Peace with Nature" coalition, and the president of the CR-USA foundation. Some very important conversations took place about the importance of preserving this last refuge of unspoiled wilderness and the President was able to enjoy some quality time here surrounded by the wonder of the rainforest. The President's visit was a huge success and it is our deepest hope that it will result in a definitive action plan to maintain and protect the serenity that is our Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica.
