Bordering the Nacascolo Archaeological Conservation Area, our Nature Center is part science lab and research facility, and part ocean adventure outpost — gateway to incredible experiences along the 12+ miles of coastline surrounding Peninsula Papagayo. When our naturalists aren’t out on the water, you can find them here sorting and preserving specimens for DNA barcoding, sharing insights into our unique ecosystems.
