Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park

Corcovado National Park (Parque Nacional Corcovado) is on the Osa Peninsula in the southwest Costa Rica. It was established in 1975, spans 263 square miles, and is widely considered the crown jewel in Costa Rica's extensive system of national parks and biological reserves spread across the country. The park conserves the largest primary forest on the American Pacific coastline and one of the few remaining sizeable areas of lowland tropical rain forests in the world. No roads travel to the park, so boat is your only option.



Here are two of the birds we saw just to whet your appetite. Below these next two photos is the video containing the boat ride down the Sierpe River and then along the Pacific Coast to the park, and our hike in the jungle forest and seashore.








Here's a video of our boat ride to the park and our jungle hike in the park, including numerous flora and fauna sightings and with explanations by our naturalist guide, Daniel.
