Overview
The Caño Island biological reserve is located 22 miles off the Osa Peninsula, northeast of
Corcovado National Park. It was used by pre-Columbian habitants as a cemetery and
sacred place. The island is 110 meters above sea level. The volcanic rock formations
provide the basis for coral colonies, composed also of five reef platforms that make it ideal
for diving and snorkeling. You will be able to observe small mollusks, crustaceans, and a
myriad of incredible fish such as angelfish, clownfish, parrotfish, eels, schools, sharks,
manta rays and turtles. On the surface the island is composed of clear waters and white
sandy beaches, some of which disappear at high tide. Occasionally you can swim with
dolphins and turtles in this paradise.
