All Things Osa & Drake Bay

Corcovado's wild side — dolphins at dawn, scarlet macaws commuting overhead, and empty black-sand beaches. The expedition corner of Costa Rica.

Good to know

  • Corcovado requires a certified guide — book 2+ weeks ahead in high season.
  • Drake Bay is roadless: you arrive by boat from Sierpe. Confirm return boats the night before.
  • This is the wettest region in the country — rain is part of the experience, not a spoiler.
