First discovered by Sir Francis Drake during his circumnavigation of the globe, the area that today is Corcovado National Park is widely considered the jewel of Costa Rica’s extensive park system. National Geographic Magazine gave credence to the park by calling it, “one of the most biologically intense places on Earth.” True to its name, the rich ecosystem of the park is one of the final strongholds for endangered species such as the jaguar and harpy eagle. As one of the premier eco-tourism destinations in Central America, Drake Bay has no shortage of outdoor activities to choose from. Popular tours include snorkel and dive trips the nearby Ca?a island, where the water is turquoise and the marine life, which includes eagle rays, whale sharks and barracudas, thrive in large numbers. There is also excellent opportunities for sport fishing, kayaking, whale and dolphin observation, mangrove exploration, and horseback riding.  


Casa Horizontes B & B has a location that is very private and peaceful. It is a villa-style hotel with a polished wood interior, fresh flower adornments and ocean views. The interior is warm and comfortably designed, with spacious rooms that are equipped with a ceiling fan, mosquito nets, balcony, and hot water showers (shared bathrooms). Three of the rooms have their own ocean view. To optimize relaxation, a resident masseuse is on hand to help guests unwind from an exciting day of sightseeing.  

At Casa Horizontes, guests are given a choice between an all-inclusive or a breakfast-only meal plan. Those who opt for the all-inclusive plan are served three delicious and nutritious meals a day.
