Drake Bay lies on the North end of the Osa Peninsula and described as one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet! This idyllic town by the bay is one of the most inaccessible places in the entire country. Drake Bay is the gateway to visiting the crown jewel of Costa Rica, Corcovado National Park. With the tallest primary rain forest on the planet, this park is home to many endangered animal and bird species as well as a huge number of indigenous wildlife and flora. You can see pairs of Scarlet Macaws from the patio as well as Humpback whales. From Drake Bay you can also visit the biological reserve of the Isla del Caño which offers some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in Costa Rica. Horseback rides are available as well as some excellent sport fishing off the coast. Canoeing and kayaking trips can also be arranged. However, if you enjoy nature there are some fantastic bird watching opportunities, in addition to some excellent hiking trials to beautiful beaches.

Further details for this vacation villa rental in Drake Bay, Costa Rica

Drake Bay or Bahia Drake lies on the northern end of the Osa Peninsula and described by National Geographic as one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet! This idyllic town by the bay is actually one of the most inaccessible places in the entire country. With a rich history of first being discovered by Sir Francis Drake in 1579 during his circumnavigation of the globe, Drake Bay is the gateway to visiting the crown jewel of Costa Rica, Corcovado National Park. It is also one of the best locations enjoy a plethora of other unique activities and tours in the region. If you are looking for lots of shopping and night life this is definitely not the place. Two small stores (pulperias) and a small disco that is open on Saturday nights are the total sum of shopping and night life. However, if you are looking for natural beauty, wilderness rain forest, lots of wildlife, friendly people, and a place to get away from it all then there is no better place in Costa Rica.

Once in Drake Bay, you will find that there is much to do. With the tallest primary rain forest on the planet, this national park is home to many endangered animal and bird species as well as a huge number of indigenous wildlife and flora. It is not uncommon for you to see pairs of Scarlet Macaws from the patio and if your are really fortunate you may catch a glimpse breaching humpback whales and their baby calfs! From Drake Bay you can also visit the biological reserve of the Isla del Caño which offers some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in Costa Rica. This tiny island has a wealth of underwater beauty, and gives tourists the opportunity to swim amidst beautiful brightly colored tropical fish and dolphins. Horseback rides are available in the area as well as some excellent sport fishing off the coast. Canoeing and kayaking trips can also be arranged. However, if you enjoy nature there are some fantastic bird watching opportunities, and hiking trials to pristine beaches.

Drake's Bay is blessed with the best natural beauty and pristine coastline in all of Costa Rica. Because of its remoteness and lack of infrastructure the development that has overtaken many of the other parts of Costa Rica has not come to Drake's Bay. In terms of flora and fauna Corcavado National Park is without a doubt the most rich part of Central America. Here you have the chance to see three types of monkeys, tapirs, peccaries, and the freshly laid tracks of the elusive jaguar.In sight of shore is Cano Island National Park, a pre-Colombian burial ground that attracts divers from around the world. It also attracts humpback whales who come here to rest and fatten up their young calf before the continue on their long migration.The waters off Drake's are also rich in many species of fish. Anglers have long considered this area a billfish paradise with sailfish, blue marlin, black marlin and stripe marlin just offshore.

Other Activities: canopy tour, boating, fishing
