Isla Damas is one of the most valuable and best-preserved coastal ecosystems on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast. Located near Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park, it stands out for its extensive system of mangroves, estuaries, and natural channels that form a true biodiversity sanctuary.
It is common to spot white-faced capuchin monkeys, raccoons, iguanas, and sloths, as well as aquatic and tropical birds such as herons, kingfishers, and roseate spoonbills. The channels are also home to crocodiles, crabs, fish, and mollusks, all integrated into a delicate natural balance.
Isla Damas is not only a tourist attraction; it is a natural lung and a living conservation laboratory. Its protection is essential for the health of the region’s coastal ecosystems and for the communities that depend on them.
