Caño Island is an amazing Biological Reserve in Costa Rica. Situated in the beautiful Pacific Ocean. About 20 km from the coast of PenÃnsula Osa. This place is also considered the best snorkeling and diving area of the country. Especially because of the visibility of about 20 meters deep (65 feet). In the crystal clear waters lives a great variety of different species such as: turtles, whales and reef sharks. Also, a quiet path on the island will lead you on a beautiful walk exploring the island. Caño Island is also known for being an ancient indigenous cemetery.
