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 withdolphins and turtles in this paradise.
