Our second day in Costa Rica and there is no better way to enjoy it than visiting the most intense bio-diverse place on the planet, the Osa Peninsula.

The morning started with a visit to the Caletas Private Reserve, a place owned by a Costa Rican who is really concerned about environmental conservation and hence, following our philosophy of supporting private projects that have a commitment to nature.

Our visit to Caletas, offers two alternatives in terms of hikes: those who like an easier pace chose the premises walk, while those who were looking for a longer hike with a bit more exercise opted for the challenging hike.

For the afternoon, we couldn’t miss the visit to the Corcovado National Park. We arrived to the northern most entrance of the park and decided to explore with two main choices. A hike following a small river basin in order to reach San Pedrillo’s waterfall with an opportunity for swimming and the famous Pargo trail with a slower pace and lots of wildlife. Monkeys, coatis, butterflies and exuberant vegetation gave us a real rain forest experience and lots of amazing memories to bring back home.

Finally, a beautiful sunset, dinner and a talk with our National Geographic photographer Susan Seubert set the end of an amazing day in southern Pacific Costa Rica.
