Corcovado National Park is located on the Osa Peninsula in southern Costa Rica. It was declared a national park on October 24, 1975, and its area comprises 45,757 hectares of land and 5,375 hectares of marine area.
Costa Rica is undoubtedly a small natural lung in Central America; we have a variety of parks, beaches, and natural sanctuaries where the primary focus is on protecting the lives of animal and plant species.
Even entities like National Geographic have highlighted that this Corcovado National Park is the «most intense place in the world, biologically speaking,» due to the large amount of biological diversity that it harbors.
Among the animal species that can be found within the park are the tapir, jaguar, puma, deer, peccary, and monkeys. There is also a variety of reptiles such as snakes and crocodiles, and amphibians such as frogs and toads. Exotic birds are also visible, such as macaws, herons, parrots, and the harpy eagle, the latter being unique to the area and once considered extinct there, but which has recently been sighted again.
The park is open to the public, but reservations must be made, for which several places in the area are equipped to assist and advise you.
This park protects not only the land area but also the marine area where a great variety of marine life develops.
We can definitely say that the trails, rivers and different stations within the park are fantastic, worthy of a true nature lover.
