Named after Sir Francis Drake, who
anchored here in 1579, Drake Bay offers some of Costa Rica's most stunning
scenery: fiery Pacific sunsets, crystalline waters, and the blue wedge of Cano
Island, floating off shore. Nearby is Corcovado National Park, the crown jewel
of Costa Rican sanctuaries. Terrain in Corcovado varies from soft sandy beaches
to dense forests of spectacularly tall trees, eight ecological habitats in all.
The park is also home to incredible wildlife. Jaguars, ocelots, and tapirs roam
its forests, and flocks of scarlet macaws and monkeys cavort overhead. |
