Caño Island Diving and Snorkeling Day Tour Corcovado
Caño Island Biological Reserve is the site of great
archeological interest as it was once used as a
pre-Columbian cemetery by cultures with a clear South
American influence. It is possible to see some of the
perfectly round and hand carved stone spheres. These
spherical stones are believed to have once marked an
offshore burial ground and ceremonial site for the
indigenous Diquis cultural group who inhabited the Golfo
Dulce area until the arrival of the Spanish.
The island rises 90 meters above sea level to a wide
plateau, which is covered with a very tall evergreen forest.
The real beauty of Isla del Cano is not found on its land,
but underwater, it is surrounded by five platforms of low
coral reefs where 15 species of stony coral have been
identified. This island’s virgin waters are some of the
bluest in the country, and are home to a spectacular variety
of stunning marine flora and fauna as well as some gorgeous
