Osa Peninsula

Drake's Bay is just down the coast from Corcovado National Park and a short boat ride from Isla de Caño, two of the most interesting areas of Costa Rica. These three hotels can only be reached by boat. You can drive to Sierpe and leave the car; the hotel will transport you from there. Since this leaves you paying for a rental car while you aren't using it, most people prefer to fly into Palmar Sur. All the hotels arrange to meet your flight and handle the transportation on to the lodge.
