Snorkeling Tour #1: Caño Island

Caño Island biological reserve is located in the Pacific Ocean, 15 km. off the OsaPeninsula. The border of the island has white sandy beaches and a well protected inshore reef, turning this island into one of the best spot in Costa Rica for scuba diving and snorkeling, offering to snorkelers and divers about 20 meters (65 ft) of visibility all year around and a lot of species of fish, turtles, mantas, dolphins and whales.
A well-maintained trail leads uphill into a rain forest environment, where you can see trees up to 50 meters tall, pre-Columbian tombs are scattered along the trail. The island was used by ancient indigenous people of the southern zone of Costa Rica as a burial site where many of the mysterious spherical stone of different sizes were discovered after Columbus arrived.
