in the drug trade. It turns out being remote is an advantage for drug runners and ecotourists alike. Bundles of
cocaine have washed up on the beach, and narcos have
been known to make transfers at the airport, adding to
the unfortunate stigma among the government and citizens that all private pilots in Costa Rica use aviation for
nefarious purposes. As our ride pulls up we ask for Glen's
contact info. No phone, no email, and incredibly sporadic
mail. He doesn't care to give his last name, either. It's a

The LagunaVista Villas turns out to be the perfect
antidote to the stress of flying down to Osa. High on a
bluff overlooking the ocean and its namesake lagoon, the
place typifies relaxation. There are no TVs, and phones
work sporadically, as does the Wi-Fi. Power comes
from solar panels, and hot water from a propane tank.
The rooms are spacious and sparsely furnished, which

seems to fit the setting perfectly. As is common in Costa
Rica, the shower is what some may consider to be outside. Oh, and there's no air conditioning. This may seem
crazy, and we were prepared for the worst, but a steady
breeze comes through the property and keeps things
surprisingly comfortable. The large deck that makes
up the common eating space has both an exceptional
view and a fabulous cooling breeze. Here, cooks whip
up impressive meals, especially given the challenging
surroundings. We're treated to a traditional casado at
lunch with chicken, rice and beans, salad, and plantains.
Dinner is a flavorful steak, vegetables, and a fresh salad.
There's rumor of a pie but no one partakes.
Although guests enjoy photography, guided hikes
into nearby Corcovado, kayaking in the lagoon, night
walks, and swimming in the pool, we opt for the superior choice of doing nothing. Sitting on a comfortable
