Get to hike and observe the flora and fauna of one of the richest rain forests from Central America! ( The Corcovado National Park ) Enjoy snorkeling an hiking in the Caño Island Biological Reserve!

The highlight is Corcovado National Park, preserving a distinct rainforest where more than 100 types of tree prosper per hectare of land. Jaguars, tapirs, ocelots, ara parrots and many other species populate the peninsula. In the region around the coast, dolphins cavort and if lucky, visitors can observe humpback whales from August to December.
