Costa Rica Part 1

Season 1 Episode 3 | 26m 46s

A Costa Rican getaway – as far removed from everyday living as you can imagine: lush rainforests and deserted tropical beaches. Marooned on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, Les Stroud must cope with deadly snakes, enormous spiders, land-crabs and scorpions, on top of keeping hydrated in the intense humidity and relentless heat.
