Day 3. CORCOVADO NATIONAL PARK TOUR (B, L, D). For a full day in the thick of the rainforest, Corcovado National Park is unparalleled for breathtaking beauty, abundant wildlife and foliage nearly pulsing with lushness. After breakfast at the Tent Camp, you’ll board a boat for a 25-minute ride to the San Pedrillo Station, the northernmost ranger station of Corcovado National Park.

An hour’s walk along the beach, led by a local naturalist guide, brings you to a forest trail up the Rio Pargo. Enormous primary growth trees dripping with epiphytic plants, such as orchids, bromeliads and ferns are numerous in this area. The quiet of the jungle is occasionally broken with the guttural bark of howler monkeys, the shrieks of scarlet macaws and the rustle of agoutis in the bush. Sloths make their slow way among branches overhead. The rainforest canopy creates a cool environment for hiking well-groomed trails.

A midday we’ll have lunch under the shade of a mango tree on Llorona beach allows you to enjoy the hiss and boom of the surf while resting from your morning’s expedition. The next leg of the adventure is a walk up the San Pedrillo River, leading to a rainforest waterfall great for a cool dip. Keep your eyes open for exotic birds and small wildlife. Kingfishers and Jesus Christ lizards are residents of this river. The park is home to cougars, jaguars, ocelots, and giant anteaters, all endangered species. Four species of monkey live in the trees overhead: the howler, white-faced capuchin, spider and squirrel monkey. The park also protects the largest population of scarlet macaws in Costa Rica. As macaws mate for life, they usually fly in pairs. You’ll see their brilliant colors displayed against the green of the forest.
In late afternoon, with senses heightened, we board the return craft to the lodge

Day 4. CANO ISLAND PARK TOUR (B, L, D). A day trip to Caño Island will prove to be an unforgettable experience to divers, snorkelers, hikers, and nature lovers alike. The island is around 8 miles off the

coast of the Osa Peninsula, and during the boat ride there is usually some fishing for Wahoo or tuna performed.

Also, most likely you will have the opportunity to see schools of dolphin swimming around the boat, and whales cruise these waters and are often sighted during their migration season. Caño Island rises like a giant emerald from the sea. Soaring coastal cliffs, white-sand beaches and a densely forested interior make this island one of the most dramatic landmasses in the area.

Indigenous pre-Columbian burial grounds on the island have contributed to its designation as a protected archeological and biological reserve. There are several trails inside the island that lead to the Indian burial sites. Here you can contemplate the perfectly store spheres that they used to adorn their sacred sites. It is still a mystery to the scientific community how these spheres were made.

The diving and snorkeling crowd will be treated to an underwater playground of caves, cliffs and canyons at seven separate dive sites. White-tipped shark, barracuda, red snapper, dog-toothed snapper, and several varieties of rays are a few of the marine species awaiting you. Snorkelers will enjoy schools of colorful tropical fish closer to shore. Cano Island is surrounded by five platforms of low reefs where over a dozen species of coral grow abundantly. These shelves house countless life forms like sea urchins, lobsters, and all sorts of giant conchs.

After a picnic lunch shaded by almond trees on the beach, guests are free to explore the island’s burial sites on self-guided trails, play a friendly game of beach volleyball, go for another round of swimming, snorkeling, diving, or simply relaxes on the sun-warmed sand. The emerald forests, crystal-clear waters, abundant marine and bird life, and several intimate beach coves will make your trip to the island a memorable adventure.
