Las Caletas
This is where the camp is located.
Las Caletas is a series of coves which is comprised of numerous small beaches delimited by colorful rocks on both sides.
These coves usually serve as secluded beaches to whoever comes first.  So if you are looking for your own private beach to spend a great afternoon, you must likely get it here.
All the Caletas area can be explored by walking or kayaking by the shore.  It can take you about 30-40 minutes to explore the whole area by walking.
Sunsets are usually spectacular on the northwest side of the Caletas, and you can perfectly walk over from the camp with a cup of wine in your hand to see the sunset on the next cove.  
 

Drake Bay
The Drake bay town and beach is about a 40 minute walk from the camp grounds in Las Caletas. You will climb up a small hill and pass by several small hotels like Las Palomas before you descend on the other side to meet the Drake Bay river. You can cross the river using a walking hanging bridge. This is a great area to explore on an afternoon as you will see spectacular views of the ocean from the top of the hill.   
 

Rio Claro
The Rio Claro area is a must visit while you are in Corcovado. This is a beautiful river that forms a huge fresh water pond before it empties into the ocean. You can swim the whole pond or go further into the river and admire the lush forest on both sides of the river.
The beach is fairly big and surfing can be done on it.
Rio Claro is about an hours hike from the Caletas area and there is a well marked path that goes along the shore so even children can do this hike. 
 

Corcovado National Park
The Corcovado National Park (41.788 Hectares) is the "crown jewel" of the Costa Rican park system.

There are 500 species of trees in the entire park. which is a fourth of all the tree species that exist in Costa Rica. Some of the largest trees grow to 40 and 50 meters high like the Nazareno tree (Peltogyne purpurea).  In the lowlands stands what is probably the tallest tree in the country; an enormous silk cotton soaring to a height of over 70 meters.

It is known that there are 140 species of mammals, 367 of birds, 117 of amphibians and reptiles and 40 of freshwater fish, and it is estimated that approximately 6.000 insects live in the park including the 123 butterflies discovered so far.

The park protects several species that are in danger of extinction both in Costa Rica and in the greater part of the American tropics such as large felines and reptiles.

The four species of monkeys that live in Costa Rica are all present in Corcovado. The howler monkey (Alouatta palliata), the white-faced capuchin monkey (Cebus capucinus), spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) and squirrel monkey (Saimiri oerstedii). The park also protects the largest population of scarlet macaws (Ara macao) in the country.

Sightings have been made in the park of the Harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja), which is the largest bird of prey in the world.

Three species of amphibians that are especially noteworthy are the glass frogs (Centrolenella valeriori and C. clymbiphyllum,), which are so transparent that their internal organs can be seen through their skin, and the poison dart frog (Dendrobates granuliferus), which is a species endemic to Costa Rica.

Caño Island  Biological Reserve
Caño Island is located some 20 kilometers west of the Osa Peninsula. Its highest point is 110 meters above sea level and most of its coastline is made up of cliffs that climb as high as 70 meters.

The white sandy beaches are small  no longer than 100 meters.  At low tide, it is possible to walk along the coast for some distance, following the beaches and a kind of rocky ledge that surrounds a large portion of the island and where innumerable tide pools form.

An old lighthouse on the southwestern tip of the island affords a view of the forest and a great deal of coastline from the look-out platform.

Caño Island is the site of a pre-Columbian cemetery that of enormous archeological value. It is still possible to see some of the perfectly round stone spheres made by the former native Indian peoples.

The marine life around the islands and in the tide pools is abundant. In addition to innumerable fish, there are large populations of Brittle stars (Ophiocoma sp.) and sea urchins (Echinometra sp and Diadema sp).
Two species that are in danger of extinction which are protected by the waters of the reserve are the lobster (Pan ulirus sp.) and giant conch (Strom bus galeatus).
