Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
The Osa Peninsula has survived to this day as one of the most pristine corners of Costa Rica. It is for this reason that Corcovado National Park is the most valuable jewel in this country’s admirable system of National Parks and forest reserves.
This morning we awoke in front of Corcovado National Park. After breakfast we went ashore on Zodiacs for a magnificent wet landing. From there we separated into several groups and took walks according to our particular interests. Some of our guests took the easier walk on flatter trails, others preferred going though a more rouged terrain to explore the forest and indulge in the fresh waters of San Pedrillo River. While enjoying the experience of being in a wonderful rainforest we saw an abundance of wildlife; troops of coatis and monkeys, howler and capuchins, agouties and even a small crocodile. After visiting the National Park we had lunch on the Sea Voyager as we repositioned to Playa Caletas. Once we landed we had various options; bird watching walks, interpretative general walks and horseback riding for the most intrepid. Around 4:30 P.M. many people went back to the ship, except for a group who could not get enough of Playa Caletas and took a 2 mile power walk around Drake Bay.
