Drake Bay : tout pour préparer ton voyage

Drake Bay is a remote natural paradise on the Pacific coast of the Osa Peninsula and one of the two main access points to Corcovado National Park.

Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit

Gateway to Corcovado – Drake Bay is one of two main access points to Corcovado National Park. Boat trips and guided jungle hikes to rare animals and pristine nature start from here.
Wildlife watching – You’ll encounter four species of monkeys, tapirs, Nasua, sloths as well as scarlet macaws and toucans. Boat trips take you to turtles, dolphins and humpback whales.
Nature away from the road – No rush, no roads – accommodation is scattered on hillsides and in the rainforest. Perfect for switching off, hiking and experiencing true wilderness.

Getting there – You can only reach Drake Bay by boat, plane or 4×4. The boat trip from Sierpe is straightforward and especially impressive, as you travel through mangroves and out into the Pacific.
Hire car on site – You don’t need a hire car here; everything is done on foot, by boat or with tour operators. Book transfers in advance, as there are hardly any last-minute alternatives.
Supplies & petrol stations – There is no petrol station and only limited shopping. Stock up on all essentials before you arrive and fill up your tank at the last opportunity in Palmar Norte or Sierpe.
Electricity & internet – Many lodges use solar power and only offer limited electricity and Wi-Fi. Charge your power bank and camera beforehand and consciously enjoy the digital break.
Access to Corcovado & Caño Island – Tours into the national park or to Caño Island are only possible with a guide and a pre-booked tour. Plan at least 2–3 days and reserve well in advance.
Equipment & packing list – Definitely bring: walking shoes, mosquito repellent, head torch, light rain jacket and a waterproof bag for boat transfers. Many lodges don’t provide snorkelling gear – ask before you travel.
