and Prospecting

The Diquis Indians found flecks of gold in the rivers and streams of the Osa Peninsula, which they melted down to create their fine pre-Columbian jewelry, For a long time people from all over the country  worked the most remotes areas questing that eternally elusive nugget.  After the creation of the Corcovado National Park all the locally called oreros (prospectors) had to abandon their jungles and dedicate their lives to different occupations. Actually there still some that refuses to change their lives and still enjoy the freedom of life associated with gold mining. On our gold prospecting tours we will take you up to Dos Brazos where our knowledgeable guides, who have all mined for gold as an income source, will teach you all you need to know about excavating material and how to run it through pans and sluices. How much gold you find depends on how hard you work and a bit of luck, of course, you get to keep all the gold you find. Guaranteed the best gold tour on the OSA Peninsula.
