New Book Featuring the Fishing Grounds of Crocodile Bay is on the Way!

An exciting new book, “Sweet Gulf” was introduced at events celebrating the upcoming launch of Botánika Osa Peninsula, Curio Collection by Hilton. Crocodile Bay and Botánika are collaborating with Tom Olivo, Todd Staley and others to produce a fine-art photography book featuring the uniqueness of the world’s most biodiverse fishing habitats on the planet – the Golfo Dulce on the Osa Peninsula in Southern Costa Rica: The home of Crocodile Bay and Botánika Resort.

 

The book will illustrate how the rainforest’s world-renowned biodiversity naturally extends into the Golfo Dulce and the surrounding Pacific Ocean. The combination of geology, climate, ocean proximity, landscape orientation and marine biology combine to create one of the greatest gamefish habitats on the planet.

 

We will keep you updated throughout 2022 on the official release date for the book and also announce a date for pre-orders to purchase the book at a discount. Below are just a few examples of some of the photographs and artwork that will be featured in the book.
