I finally found nice hike/walk in the jungle. It's actually a gravel road but it's steep and the rewards at the end are beautiful. From Fishhook Marina and Lodge you continue on the main road away from Golfito passing a soccer (football) field on your left that has artificial turf. Just after that you turn left on a gravel road beside a small stream. Accross the stream is another soccer field.
Wear good shoes as the rain, moss, leaves and other tropical growth make the footing slippery at times.

Within 45 minutes we had peek-a-boo views of the little gulf and the mangroves at the end. When we reached the look out, we could see the town of Golfito and the Golfo Dulce.
We saw Toucans flying about but but the were too far off to really see them even with binoculars. Just as we were starting our decent, one of them flew to the lower branches so we could see him. He didn't even flutter a feather when a motorcycle passed along the bumpy road. I managed to get several photos of him before he found a better roost. I've heard that the locals eat Toucans. Impossible! It has to be an urban myth.
