Must do in Drake Bay! Wonderful Corcovado National Park, Sirena tour experience with Roy!

Amazing views from the room and from the viewpoint above. Breakfast was excellent in taste and value, luckily there are lots of steps to help work it off. They now have a restaurant halfway up the drive which serves tasty meals and cocktails etc all afternoon/evening with a varied menu. It was especially handy when there was a...
