Corcovado NP
The Corcovado National Park is on the Oso Peninsula and can only be accessed by walking or talking a boat to it. I stayed at Drake Bay just outside the park. The first day I had a hammock day, the second day I went snorkelling near the Caño Island and the third day walking in the park. By the way on the 9th February 3/4 of my trip is over.

Day 3

When they finally arrived several surrounded me asking questions about how my knee was, then they all disappeared to go do laundry and shower before dinner. After dinner we had a lecture by Danny about the rainforest. When that was over, I went to bed because I was not feeling well...

“Beautiful spot!”
Reviewed Mar 25, 2013
