Costa Rica National Parks: Southern Pacific Coast
Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park
Corcovado National Park has become an international attraction in Costa Rica since it was founded in 1975. Located on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, Corcovado is one of the remotest National Parks in Costa Rica
Home to the largest and only tropical primary lowland rainforest in the world, Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park is also the habitat of endangered plants and animal species. Mostly undisturbed because of its isolation and inaccessibility, it is home to the majestic Quetzals, the Red-Eyed Tree Frog and the Tapir, the largest terrestrial mammal in Central and South America and the stunning Scarlet Macaws.
With 41,000 hectares of this Costa Rica National Park protected, it has over 140 different mammal species, 400 bird species, 20 of which are endemic, 116 amphibian and reptile species, 40 species of fish and at least 500 species of trees. Habitat of the rare Harbor Squirrel Monkey and the Harpy Eagle, the Corcovado National Park also is a great place to spot the poison arrow frog, indigenous wild cats, crocodiles, pumas and jaguars as well as four species of sea turtles.
a wealth of trails to choose from covering a wide variety of terrain and habitats.
