Corcovado National Park: Feel the intense of the Nature
4 days / 3 nights |
|
 |
Corcovado is one of the few places on earth that you can surely call paradise. The region that National Geographic has described as "the most biologically intense place on earth."
|
The park is located in the pacific coast, in the Península de Osa, province of Puntarenas. Corcovado is located in the life zone that correspond to the very humid tropical forest in the south pacific of Costa Rica and you can be sure that no other wild area in the country protects plants and animal as this park. This wild area is considered an excellent life laboratory, in which you can study the structure and function of the tropical ecosystems and the relationship between them. |
 |
|
The very humid forests of Corcovado, are some of the last places that still maintain the ecosystem of the very humid tropical forests in the American pacific, with precipitation over 5.000mm annual.
There are like 500 species of trees in the whole park, which is equivalent to the fourth part of all the tree species in Costa Rica. The tropical rain forests protected in the area, no only constitute the best ecosystem in the pacific, but the last of them in Central America. |
|
| Corcovado National Park protects various threatened plant and animal species, and is known to have about 124 species of mammals (over 50 bats); 375 species of birds (perhaps 5-8 endemics); 117 species of reptiles and amphibians (2 crocodilians, 4 sea turtles); 66 freshwater fish species; and 70 species of marine crabs. Among the mammals are 4 monkey species (e.g. Central American squirrel monkey, white-faced capuchin), anteaters, sloths, southern river otter, crab-eating raccoon, 5-6 cat species (e.g. ocelot, margay, jaguar), peccaries and Baird's tapir |

Three different options for your trip to Corcovado |
| Jinetes de Osa Hotel |
Jinetes De Osa Hotel is a friendly beachside retreat one hoursboat ride down the jungle lined banks of the Sierpe River.
Upon arrival, you can immediately enjoy secluded beaches, deserted waterfalls and a walk among one of the largest nesting populations of Scarlet Macaws in Costa Rica. So leave the hectic pace of the modern world behind and come explore with us at the Jinetes De Osa Resort, Drake Bay, Costa Rica.
The resort consists of three buildings located on the beach and twenty acres of rain forest. Currently, the resort has 9 rooms in two of the three buildings and a dining room and kitchen in the third. The rooms are simple, comfortable and clean. At night, the fresh tropical breeze carries the sound of the ocean into your room; a most effective cure for stress based insomnia.
Fresh baked bread, fresh fish from the local fishermen, and wonderfully ripe local fruits, supplement the tropical Costa Rican dishes served in the dining room. It just may be the clean air, the exercise, or the fact that you just picked the juiciest mango on a hike around the bay, but food simply tastes better on the Osa Peninsula. |
