| CANO ISLAND NATIONAL PARK |
| This is an hour boat trip each way. In the early morning,
we land on the island. Upon your arrival, the guide leads a hike up to
the site of the Indian graves that are found all over the central plateau,
where archaeologists unearthed mysterious stone spheres and finely worked
artifacts, testimonies to a vanished culture. Along the way, notable differences
between the island and mainland forest will be pointed out. By noon a picnic
lunch is provided on the beach.
Following lunch, you are at your leisure to swim and soak up the sun. You will be free to visit other parts of the island or snorkel among the corals and brightly colored reef fishes. Snorkelers will delight in the schools of brightly colored fish. By late afternoon, it's time to return to MARENCO, a short distance by boat, but an entirely different world. Watch for dolphins along the way! Overnight stays are not permitted on this Biological Reserve except by express permission of the Costa Rican National Park Service for visits involving active research. |
