Half of the peninsula is protected by Corcovado National Park, a rain - drenched wilderness hosting poison - dart frogs and the largest population of scarlet macaws in Central America. (wanderlust.co.uk)
You can expect to see large flocks of macaws in flight or feeding on almond trees by the shoreline. (southernexpeditionscr.com)
From anywhere on the Placencia peninsula you can dive along the reef, swim in the warm sea water, look for scarlet macaws in Red Bank Village to the southwest (between December and February), explore the Mayan ruins at Mayflower and hike to the waterfalls there, or, on a full day trip, travel to the Mayan sites at Lubaantun and Nim Li Punit near Punta Gorda, or treat yourself to some of the best sportfishing in the country.
