Drake's Bay is a small bay on the north side of the Osa Peninsula, on the coast of south-western Costa Rica. There are miles and miles of beautiful coastline with rocky crags and sandy coves that extend from Agujitas, where the village of Drake Bay is located, toward the boundary of the park about 10km to the south. Along this stretch of beach are some of the most remote and spectacular ecolodges in Costa Rica.
Sightseeing
The main attraction is Corcovado National Park, this is known for being one of the largest parks, without human intervention, in the country. The area has only been accessible by sea until recently, and consequently remains a largely pristine low-land tropical rainforest. It is one of the last such remaining areas on the Pacific coast. There are lots of hiking tours you can go on but you really should try to do a night tour. The jungle seems like a different world at night. The sounds change and the jungle actually vibrates with this new chorus. The sights you'll see at night are the most memorable as there are some nocturnal animals that you probably didn't even know existed.
Getting there
Drake Bay is not on the beaten path and can only be reached by highway during the dry season. Boat service up the Sierpe River and air travel connect Drake Bay to the rest of the world during the rainy season.
