This day you should bring
your beach towel and snorkeling gear along
(available for rent) . It all stars with an
early departure. This is an hour boat trip
each way. In the early morning, we land on
the island. Immediately upon 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.
Following lunch time, 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
mainland, a short distance by boat, but an
entirely different world. Watch out for the
dolphins along the way! Overnight stay is
not permitted on this Biological Reserve except
by express permission of the Costa Rican National
Park Service for visits involving active research.
