Sorry, we were told, when we planned our stay on Costa Ricaβs Osa Peninsula; February is a bit early in the season to see humpback whales in Drake Bay and there are no tours running. Slightly disappointed, we settled for a day visiting CaΓ±o Island. We were promised great snorkelling and a landing on a beautiful island. But not whales.

Early on our first morning on Costa Ricaβs Osa Peninsula, in the far south west of the country, we boarded the small boat that was to take us and seven other guests of the Aguila de Osa lodge to the nearby national park, Corcovado. This is primary rainforest, never touched and preserved intact.

A holiday in Costa Rica is all about connecting with nature. The animals, the birds, the landscapes. The Pura Vida indeed.
