San Josecito Beach to Guaria de Osa |
The walk from San Josecito Beach
to Guaria
All entrance routes to Guaria de Osa weather from Sierpe
or Drake Bay arrive at Playa San Josecito, a sheltered cove
and paradise beach safe for docking and snorkeling. From here
it is a casual 20 to 30-minute walk to Guaria, unless you
get side tracked by the Scarlet Macaws or White Faced Monkeys
that are commonly seen! Another 500 yards along our beloved
beach, Playa Rincón de San Josecito, just past the
first mangrove patch and stream, you’ll see our sign.
Follow the boardwalk in and you've made it to Guaria de Osa!
Note:
Since the last leg of the journey is by foot we suggest
you bring a backpack and pack light. If needed porter services
for your belongings are available, this way all you carry
in is your daypack!! Please specify in the registration
form and see what to bring for a list of recommended items.
Note: During group journeys
or scheduled excursions all luggage and supplies are brought
in by boat directly to Guaria. Depending on the tidal and
ocean conditions we land the boat up onto the beach just
in front of the lodge. This is convenient for bringing in
the luggage and supplies but a bit jolting for visiting
guests. Supplies and luggage
are also brought in from San Josecito beach by horse. Please
be sure to specify your entry options on the registration
form.
