Good to know
Do you need a guide to hike Corcovado National Park?
Yes — a certified guide is legally mandatory for all Corcovado entry, a SINAC rule in force since February 1, 2014 and enforced at every ranger station, where unguided visitors are turned away. Build the guided-trek product; there is no compliant self-guided version to sell. · Wikipedia — Corcovado National Park, 2026-07-06
Can you dive Cocos Island on a day trip?
No. Cocos is liveaboard-only — it lies ~342 mi off the Pacific coast, an ~36-hr open-ocean crossing from Puntarenas, and is sold as 8/10/12-night charters (15/21/27 dives) via Aggressor or Undersea Hunter. Berths book 6–18 months out, so plan far ahead. · aggressor.com, 2026-07-06
Are the Osa eco-lodges right for a honeymoon?
Yes — the Osa is honeymoon-grade seclusion without the resort cliché: private-reserve bungalows over the Pacific, canopy suites and no Wi-Fi. Lapa Rios alone offers 16 ocean-view bungalows across 1,000 protected acres, and remote lodges bundle meals, guided excursions and transfers by necessity. · laparios.com, 2026-07-06
When can you see whales in Golfo Dulce?
Golfo Dulce — one of only four tropical fjords on Earth — draws both hemispheres' humpbacks, so the season is unusually long: Southern-hemisphere humpbacks calve July–November (prime late Aug–Sept), and Northern-hemisphere humpbacks arrive November–February. · nicuesalodge.com, 2026-07-06
What's the real risk to plan for on a Corcovado trek?
The tide-timed river crossings. Rio Sirena and Rio Claro are the most dangerous, with American crocodiles and bull sharks patrolling the river mouths, so guides cross only at low tide and never in storms. This — plus jungle heat and deep-remote medevac — is the true gatekeeper, above petty crime. · crsurfzone.com, 2026-07-06
Is diving Cocos Island dangerous?
It is advanced diving in a strong-current, deeply remote environment. DAN membership and dive insurance are essential, no-fly-after-diving surface intervals apply, and because the site is ~36 hr from land the vessel itself is the only evacuation. Not a first-timer's trip. · aggressor.com, 2026-07-06
