About Corcovado National Park

Corcovado National Park
 

Corcovado National Park, located on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, is renowned for its vast biodiversity and varied landscapes, from lowland rainforests to cloud forests, mangroves, and pristine beaches. Established in 1975, it spans approximately 164 square miles, protecting ecosystems that support a wealth of flora and fauna, including endangered species such as jaguars, ocelots, and the scarlet macaw. The park's remote location and rugged terrain make it a destination for adventurous travelers seeking to explore its wild trails and vibrant wildlife habitats. Popular activities include hiking through dense rainforest, spotting exotic animals and birds, and experiencing the natural beauty of the region's beaches and rivers. The park's diversity and relative inaccessibility have helped preserve its ecosystems, making it a crucial conservation area in Central America.
