Dawn spills along the Osa Peninsula and the beach becomes a trail. You meet in Puerto Jiménez before a coastal drive to Carate, then walk three kilometers across sand where the ocean seems to watch and the rainforest waits at the treeline. At La Leona Ranger Station the forest exhales; the guide registers the group and leads you into a world where vines tug at the light and macaws argue overhead.
