Why Choose Corcovado National Park?

Nestled on the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado National Park is often referred to as the crown jewel of Costa Rica’s national parks. Spanning over 40,000 acres, it is home to an astonishing variety of flora and fauna. From jaguars to scarlet macaws, the wildlife here is nothing short of breathtaking. A personal favorite moment of mine was spotting a family of white-faced monkeys swinging playfully through the treetops, a vivid reminder of the park’s rich biodiversity.

Corcovado National Park Tour - What to Expect?

On our Corcovado National Park Tour, you will be accompanied by a knowledgeable Corcovado guide who will enhance your experience with insights into the park’s ecosystems and wildlife behaviors. The tour begins with a scenic boat ride from Uvita to the park, where you’ll witness stunning coastal views and may even catch sight of dolphins frolicking in the water.

Once we arrive, you’ll embark on a guided hike through the dense rainforest. As you wander along the trails, your guide will point out unique plant species and share fascinating stories about the area’s history and ecology. The sounds of the jungle—chirping insects, rustling leaves, and distant bird calls—create an immersive atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re stepping into another world.
