Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
The second day of our journey exploring the coast of Central America began at Corcovado National Park, on the Costa Rican Peninsula de Osa. Corcovado is the last significant track of rainforest remaining in the Pacific side of Costa Rica, and it sure lived up to its reputation as our group disembarked on the sandy shore at the park’s entrance.
We had different hiking options, some short and easy, others more rigorous and demanding, but we all came back with a big smile of satisfaction, for we encountered a diverse selection of wildlife which included a myriad of birds, and a few primate species such as spider and howler monkeys.
Our vessel repositioned in time for lunch, which was held at a lovely spot known as Punta Caletas. Our crew worked hard to make this delicious picnic possible, and we enjoyed every bit of it. After a fun beach session and a brief siesta we headed back to the Sea Voyager in time to cruise the waters that bathe the Osa Peninsula, it wasn’t long before a group of humpback whales were spotted from the bridge, and the small calf seemed as excited as we were, breeching out of the water no less than 17 times! The exhilaration was quite contagious, and this was only the second day of our trip, we can hardly wait to see what other surprises nature holds for us.
