What a wonderful day in the Golfo Dulce. After traveling all night to reach the “Sweet Gulf,” we disembarked onto Playa Blanca. Once there, guests could choose to tour one of several local production sites in the region including those for sugar cane, hearts of palm, cacao, or gold panning. Alternatively, guests could opt to hike through the trails of Danta Corcovado Lodge.
Each of these operations are owned and ran by Costa Rican families who sought to incorporate protection of the rainforest and similar eco-friendly initiatives into their work. By the end of the day, we had come back with a heart full of stories and renewed insight into Costa Rican community.
