Bahía Drake
As one of Costa Rica's most isolated destinations, Bahía Drake
('drah-kay')
is a veritable
Lost World filled with tropical landscapes and abundant wildlife. In the rainforest canopy,
howlers greet the rising sun with their haunting bellows, while pairs of macaws soar
between the treetops, filling the air with their cacophonous squawking. Offshore in the bay
itself, pods of migrating dolphins flit through turquoise waters.
Of course, one of the reasons why Bahía Drake is brimming with wildlife is that it re-
mains largely cut off from the rest of the country. With little infrastructure beyond dirt
roads and the occasionally used airstrip, most of the area remains off the grid. However,
Bahía Drake is home to a number of stunning wilderness lodges, which all serve as ideal
bases for exploring this ecological gem.
