CorCovado National Park
Hosting 2.5% of the world's biodiversity, Corcovado National Park is considered to be one of the most vibrant ecosystems on earth.
Under a forest of towering tropical trees, a thriving landscape full of exotic species and spellbinding sights lures adventurers to this remote corner of the world. Corcovado National Park is often compared with or even claimed to surpass parts of the Amazon in both scope of grandeur and wildlife diversity.
Called by National Geographic as “the most biologically intense place on the Earth in terms of biodiversity”, Corcovado National Park hosts an incredible range of plant and animal species — many of which are endangered and require protected sanctuary to thrive.
For humans, Corcovado National Park offers an unforgettable experience full of adventurous exploration, wildlife observation and exotic downtime. When you’re not venturing through miles of offbeat jungle trails surrounded by incredible sights and sounds, take a dip under a waterfall in a fresh rainforest swimming pool. Take a break from the canopy by exiting the forest anywhere along the southwest side and stand on its Pacific coastline, where miles of unspoiled beaches and dazzling sunsets abound.
Corcovado National Park is inviting for both seasoned backpackers and casual hikers alike. You can take a guided tour through the only remaining old growth wet forests on the Pacific coast of Central America. Corcovado National Park consists of 13 types of ecosystems including coastal marines, beach habitats, mangrove swamps, jolillo palm forests, lowland rainforests and highland cloud forests — in which chances are high of seeing large numbers of species including big cats, sea turtles, tapirs, eagles, macaws, anteaters and countless more.
Here, the isolation of nature thrives on the borders of land and sea. Experience a majestic wildlife getaway in Corcovado National Park on Costa Rica’s pristine Osa Peninsula — a completely unique and thrilling adventure awaits.
