Rancho Corcovado

Look out across the bay, then explore

From its bluff above Drake Bay, Rancho Corcovado puts forest and sea in the same outlook. Birdsong brings interest to the morning before an excursion begins, and monkeys may be moving through the surrounding trees. A restaurant, bar, comfortable beds and the landscapes around them give family time at the lodge its own pleasures, especially when exploring the Osa with children or teenagers.

Share the discoveries on land and water

Corcovado National Park draws many travelers here, while horseback rides through the jungle, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing add other ways to enjoy the region. Whale and dolphin outings bring the bay’s marine life into your plans. Look for the wildlife the region supports—from toucans and monkeys to crocodiles and marine animals—with time to notice the discoveries that make each outing different.

Choose the room and the package together

A four-day, three-night nature stay can give the family time to move between an excursion, a meal and a pause overlooking the bay. Standard and Superior accommodation include meals, ceiling fans and private bathrooms, with air conditioning among Superior’s comforts. Current Standard, Superior, Deluxe and Premium choices also span two- and three-night options, with air conditioning in their room amenities. Confirm the particular room, bedding and package length for your dates rather than assuming one arrangement applies to every option.

The package includes three meals per day and taxes. The Sirena Station Corcovado tour includes a naturalist guide and entrance fee; the Dolphin Tour includes snorkeling equipment and whales and turtles as animals to look for. Package transport includes transport to Palmar Sur and Sierpe to Rancho Corcovado, and transportation to Rancho Corcovado Drake Bay Airport. Confirm the precise route and timing for your itinerary.

Leave time for the bay outlook

Drake Bay’s appeal here is nature and exploration, with surfing not available in the area. Give the outings their time, then keep some hours for the bluff, a meal and conversation about the day’s discoveries. Those quieter moments can be a rewarding part of sharing this landscape with younger travelers.
