In 1579 the famous pirate Sir Francis Drake discovered his greatest treasure on the northwestern flank of the Osa Peninsula: an environmental display beyond compare. The bay where he came ashore still remains the virgin landmass it once was and now bears his name.
 Palm trees adorn the landscape at Drake Bay where modern-day pirates in fancy yachts and sail boats seek the unparalleled beauty of the rainforest on the mainland. Out at sea the diversity is just as breathtaking, with dolphins and whales playfully swimming about. Tours and expeditions feature up-close marine encounters, including scuba diving and swimming with dolphins. Keep your eyes open because these amazing animals, as well as giant manta rays and sea turtles, swim by the thousands.
