Osa Peninsula is home to at least 1/2 of all living species in Costa Rica!
Corcovado National Park covers 1/3 of the Osa Peninsula and is considered the 'crown jewel' among Costa Rica's extensive system of national parks and biological reserves.
More than 500 species of trees, 367 species of birds, 140 of mammals, 117 of reptiles/amphibians and 40 species of freshwater fish make Corcovado their home.
Drake Bay is known as wintering and breeding grounds for humpback whales and more than 25 species of whales and dolphins are commonly seen by visitors. (The Costa Rican Times, Dec.2013)
Caño Island is 10 miles west of the Osa coast also known as "paradise."
This entire area is only accessible by boat or cessna planes. We will go by boat!
The final important number is the cost to see it all! I work really hard in offering quality, organic travel experiences to WL students that do not cost an arm and a leg! This trip is coming in at $2170. right now - a tremendous value for all the things the students will get to see and do! This price includes ELEVEN meals, all accommodations, excursions, activities, park entrance fees and guide tips!!
