Circling the warm blue waters of Golfo Dulce is a tropical rain forest where one may encounter four species of monkeys (spider monkeys, white-faced monkeys, and squirrel and howler monkeys), tropical 'Poison Dart' frogs, Morpho butterflies, anteaters, agoutis, coati mundis, jaguars, ocelots and margays.

   Beautiful birds abound, such as scarlet macaws throughout the peninsula, toucans, hummingbirds, great curassows, crested guans, trogons, aracaris, honey creepers, herons, tinamous, woodpeckers, wood creepers, ant birds and manikins.

   During a 1996 visit by the Greenpeace ship Moby Dick, Captain Joel Stewart commented that there is "so much biodiversity... so many species, that one is almost forced to defend it."  And on the western shore of Golfo Dulce is the Osa Peninsula, which National Geographic has called "the most ecologically intense place on earth."

   In the very far south-western corner of Costa Rica is the unexplored  jungle of the Osa Peninsula.  This lightly populated area is the last unspoiled frontier left in Costa Rica.  The waters surrounding Drake's Bay are a tropical aquatic paradise.
