Gold Panning in Historical Carate River

Unearth the secrets of gold mining techniques alongside a seasoned local gold miner!

The Osa Peninsula boasts a rich history of gold, dating back to ancient times when indigenous tribes adorned themselves with gold as decorative ornaments. The most recent gold rush took place in the 1980s, but the pursuit of gold has long fascinated adventurers in this region. Modern gold mining operations commenced in 1937 along the Rio Tigre, on the side of Golfo Dulce. In 1939, the gold miners expanded their reach to the Madrigal River, an area now encompassed within the boundaries of Corcovado NP. However, this initial gold rush was short-lived due to the onset of the Second World War. The last gold rush, in the 1980s, saw approximately 2,000 miners panning the rivers and beaches. Nonetheless, the preservation of nature triumphed, leading to the eviction of all gold miners from Corcovado National Park.

Legend has it that the Osa Peninsula held more gold than California during the iconic gold rush era. The Rio Madrigal, Rio Tigre, and Rio Carate are major rivers known for gold mining in the region and are conveniently situated near Luna Lodge.

Seize the opportunity to embark on your own quest for this precious metal! Join a local gold miner, learn their time-honored techniques, and try your luck at uncovering nature’s hidden treasures. Explore the rivers close to Luna Lodge and see what wonders await you beneath the sparkling waters.
