Drake Bay: Gateway to Costa Rica’s Wild Osa Peninsula Nestled on the northern edge of the Osa Peninsula, Drake Bay is a secluded paradise for nature lovers, adventurers, and explorers. Accessible by boat or small plane, this remote village is celebrated for its lush rainforests, vibrant wildlife, and unspoiled beaches. Far from the crowds, Drake Bay offers a tranquil escape where the sounds of the jungle and the gentle waves set the pace of life. Drake Bay is the perfect base for exploring the renowned Corcovado National Park, often described as one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Guided hiking tours introduce visitors to a world of scarlet macaws, howler monkeys, tapirs, and, with luck, even the elusive jaguar. The park’s dense forests and winding rivers make every hike an unforgettable adventure. Marine enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy as well. The calm, clear waters surrounding Drake Bay offer excellent opportunities for snorkeling, scuba diving, and dolphin or whale watching. A short boat ride takes you to Caño Island Biological Reserve, home to thriving coral reefs and a dazzling array of tropical fish. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or excitement, Drake Bay’s unique blend of wilderness and hospitality promises a memorable Costa Rican experience.
