Campanario Biological Station is a privately-owned reserve near the town of Los Planes and Drake Bay. It is a short hike from the San Pedrillo ranger station in Corcovado National Park, and includes about 170 acres (69 hectares) of forest, along with a sheltered cove and beach. The property and facility functions as a destination for ecotours, a field station for researchers, an educational center for school groups, and a home for the staff.
