WILD JUNGLE: For the most adventurous

Hikes in Drake Bay

The itineraries that we offer below are the most recommendable ones for those independent travelers who are not fooled by tourist guide books and who are looking for an authentic experience in the jungle that goes beyond the more conventional itineraries mass-produced for tourists. In addition, since there are fewer associated costs (such as the entrance fee to the National Park) we are able to offer them at a very competitive price. A higher price does not always mean better quality, of this we are sure.

CLASSIC ROUTES: Corcovado National Park

Tour Corcovado National Park

Corcovado National Park is home to approximately 2.5% of the world’s Biodiversity and 50% species in Costa Rica and it is considered the"jewel"of the country’s extensive system of national parks and biological reserves.National Geographic has called it the place with the greatest biological intensity in the world, and it is estimated that there is no other place on the planet (of comparable size) that harbors a greater biological diversity.

BLUE OCEAN: Into the depths

Scuba diving, snorkeling and whales in Drake Bay

Cano Island Biological Reserve is the second-best place in the country for diving and snorkeling, after the Isla del Coco. Here you can enjoy experiencing a vast quantity of marine life... huge schools of jacks, snappers, rocky reefs, turtles, harmless reef sharks and multitudes of colored reef fish.

Moreover, it is a feeding ground for large numbers of resident dolphins and a breeding and courtship area for humpback whales not only from the northern hemisphere (December-April) but more particularly for those from the southern hemisphere (July-November), which makes sightings possible practically all year round, something that happens only in this part of the planet.

 

ESPECIALIZED HIKES: Night life, Birds, Turtles
