Eco-lodges in the Golfo Dulce Bay
Information about the unique group of Eco Lodges in the Golfo Dulce Bay, the most pristine, natural and undeveloped area of Costa Rica. The Golfo Dulce Bay in Costa Rica is surrounded by the Piedras Blancas National Park, Corcovado National Park and the Osa Penninsula.
The Golfo Dulce bay is a large bay ringed by secluded beaches surrounded by the ever-green rainforest of the Corcovado and the Piedras Blancas National Park, Due to the regions’ tremendous biodiversity, the Golfo Dulce bay is the perfect destination for nature lovers, those seeking soft adventure and those who want to escape from crowded tourist destinations.
During a visit by the Greenpeace ship Moby Dick, Captain Joel Stewart commented in 1996 that there is “so much biodiversity, so many species, that one is almost forced to defend it.”
The Golfo Dulce is one of only four tropical fjord-like estuaries in the whole world, this area of pristine tropical wilderness is home to resident and migratory communities of bottlenose, spotted and spinner dolphins as well as the occasionally-seen false-killer whales.
The Golfo Dulce bay is also home to four of the world’s 8 different sea turtles including the critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle, along with manta rays, sailfish, marlin, tuna and sharks including endangered hammerhead and whale sharks.
The mangrove systems found within the gulf which are composed of red and black mangrove species, grow in the intertidal region where salt and fresh water meet. They serve as a buffer from storms reducing erosion of shorelines and improve the quality and clarity of the water.
