| Golfito | Golfito is located on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast, about 340 highway kilometers from San Jose. This small port city is a narrow strip along Golfito Bay backed against steep green hills covered with pristine rainforest, with the Golfo Dulce lying seaward outside Golfito Bay. The city has a variety of hotels and restaurants, many of which also now provide free wireless Internet service for customers. Golfito was the main port on the South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica in the days when there was little except huge banana plantations. Diseases which infected the bananas and massive strikes by the workers contributed largely to the United Fruit Company's decision to leave the area. To help remedy the resulting impoverishment of the region, the government established a duty-free zone. In addition to the duty-free shopping, there are a variety of activities one can find around Golfito which are more off the beaten path compared to typical tourist activities in other areas. Beautiful beaches such as Playa Zancudo, and the surfing paradise Pavones are within easy reach from Golfito by car, boat or bus. |

| Isla de Coiba | Located in the Gulf of Chiriqui, Coiba National Park is off Panama's Pacific coast. Coiba National Park (Nacional Parque Coiba) is a group of 38 islands including Coiba Island (Isla Coiba) and the waters surrounding them and covers 430,825 acres. Identified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2005, Coiba National Park offers rich and well preserved natural resources. Because Isla Coiba served Panama as a penal colony, access to the island was very restricted. Almost by accident, 80% of the islands natural resources have survived untouched and flourished through limited human contact. With its designations as a National Park, Isla Coiba, its surrounding waters and island neighbors have been given a greater degree of protection. While still subject to poaching, illegal logging and other trespasses, the Panamanian government has taken a large step in their preservation. |

| Panama Canal Transit | The Panama Canal (Spanish: Canal de Panama) is an 82-kilometre (51 mi) ship canal in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean (via the Caribbean Sea) to the Pacific Ocean. The canal cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a key conduit for international maritime trade. Work on the canal, which began in 1880, was completed in 1914, making it no longer necessary for ships to sail the lengthy Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America and to navigate the dangerous waters of the Strait of Magellan. One of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, the Panama Canal shortcut made it possible for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in half the time previously required. The shorter, faster, safer route to the U.S. West Coast and to nations in and along the Pacific Ocean allowed those places to become more integrated with the world economy. Ownership of the territory that is now the Panama Canal was first Colombian, then French and then American before coming under the control of the Panamanian government in 1999. The Panama Canal has seen annual traffic rise from about 1,000 ships when it opened in 1914, to 14,702 vessels in 2008, the latter measuring a total of 309.6 million Panama Canal/Universal Measurement System (PC/UMS) tons. By 2008, more than 815,000 vessels had passed through the canal, many of them much larger than the original planners could have envisioned; the largest ships that can transit the canal today are called Panamax. The American Society of Civil Engineers has named the Panama Canal one of the seven wonders of the modern world. |
| Caldera | A very important port in the Pacific, Puerto Caldera sits near the mouth of the Golfo de Nicoya. Located in the northern region of Puntarenas province on the Central Pacific Coast, this tiny town is a key port for ships from all across the globe. With an industrial port complex built here to accommodate both cruise liners as well as cargo vessels, Puerto Caldera plays a vital role in Costa Rica's trade with the world. Just over one hour west of San Jose, the capital, Puerto Caldera acts as a significant access spot to the Pacific Coast. A 45 minute drive from the touristy town of Jaco, and about 18 km southeast from the city of Puntarenas, this port has no real passenger facilities or services with the exception of a small port terminal. The terminal here is air-conditioned with restroom facilities, an information desk, public phone access and a few vendors aimed at tourists. For international visitors a call center is at hand which accepts all major credit cards. Situated in a lush and unspoiled region of the province and with close proximity to many of Puntarenas's major tourist attractions and nature reserves, Puerto Caldera is a great place to parasail. Perfect for the adventure tourist looking for some action, this small port town has some amazing steep cliffs, from which one can take off to see some truly breathtaking views of the country's Pacific Coast. |

Golfito National Wildlife Refuge
From your SeaDream yacht, you will tender to a private marina in Golfito town. With your fellow guests, you will follow a professional guide through one of South Pacific's most famous National Parks. Spectacular natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere attract many visitors to Golfo Dulce annually; explore a park that gathers numerous species of butterflies, monkeys, reptiles, orchids, etc... The National Wildlife Refuge of Golfito has special characteristics since the town with the same name is at its borders. The flora and fauna found there are considered the northern most point for many species found in the southern part of the continent, and many of these are endemic. For this reason, the area around Golfito is ideal for Scientific Tourism which makes it unique within the entire country for its great value and exuberance. It was created in 1945 by the Banana Company of Costa Rica who later passed it on to the Costa Rican government in 1984 and it has 6,944 acres. Golfito is surrounded by a spectacular primary rainforest. As part of the National Park System, the Wildlife Refuge of Golfito provides a home to more than 125 species of trees, including 4 that are in danger of extinction such as: the Peltogyne Purpurea, the Tachigalia Versicolor, the Butternut and the M.Guianensis. There are 11 species of Heliconias, 31 species of orchids, and more than 12 species of ferns. Four species of monkeys also live here, along with 300 species of birds (120% more than those found in North America), 139 mammal species and more than 200 species of amphibians and reptiles. Don't forget your cameras and perhaps an extra memory stick. You could easily take 200 photos on this SeaDream Yachting Land Adventure.
