Golfito and the Osa Peninsula

In July, 2002 I rented a 4x4 and drove from San Jose south  to Golfito taking the Pacific coast route. Golfito is just above the border of Panama. Along the way I visited Quepos and Dominical.  

The following  photos were taken while driving the back, mostly dirt, road from Golfito to Drake Bay on the beautiful Osa Peninsula. Truly and exciting and beautiful drive. It appeared that I was the only car to drive down that road for some time. Most people get to Darkes Bay by boat. Driving the back road requires crossing some spooky  rivers and flimsy bridges. It was the only place in Costa Rica where I seen truly unspoiled wildlife.
