Introducing To Corcovado Via Bahía Drake

Show mapClose map

At the northern base of the Península de Osa, the Valle de Diquis is named for the indigenous group that originally inhabited this area (probably the same folks responsible for the strange stone spheres that still decorate the region). The valley stretches from the basin of the Río Grande de Térraba west to the mouth of the river and south to Sierpe, from where the Río Sierpe flows out to Bahía Drake. Inland, this flat terrain is covered with palm plantations, but closer to the coast line, the Humedal Nacional Térraba-Sierpe protects an amazing array of jungly swampland and overgrown mangroves.
