Protecting 41,788 hectares of shallow lagoons, marsh, mangrove swamps, rivers, wet forest and low-altitude cloud forest, as well as 46 kilometers of sandy beach, the Corcovado National Park is one of Central America’s most unique ecosystems - which is why naturalists from all over the world come to study its riches.

Within its extensive territory, visitors can observe the rich biodiversity of the last virgin natural area in all of Central America. Some 6,000 insect, 500 tree, 367 bird, 140 mammal, 117 amphibian and reptile, and 40 freshwater fish species live here in coexistence.

Located on the southwestern corner of the Osa Peninsula, the Corcovado National Park protects more than eight different types of habitat. It's remote location has left it largely untouched and it remains one of the best remaining areas of Pacific coastal rainforest in Central America.

The park has numerous hiking trails (a guide is recommended), rustic camping refuges and visitors can also enjoy the park on boat excursions. Those with a keen eye can often see whales off shore and macaws in Corcovado, as well as many other animals in danger of extinction.

Visitor services include information, a park ranger station, trails, signage, restrooms, drinking water, a landing field, camping area, radio communication and rustic lodging.
