Cloud Forests
More than half of Corcovado National Park is mountainous, with the highest reaches inhabited by the oaks and tree ferns of the Costa Rican cloud forest.
Corcovado Lagoon
Corcovado Lagoon and adjacent swamplands encompass over 1,000 hectares of habitat for crocodiles and other swamp lowland species.
Rainforest Trees
More than 500 species of trees occur in this incredibly biodiverse preserve. Some reach heights of over 50 metres and are supported by giant buttresses.
Scarlet Macaws
Flocks of scarlet macaws grace the trees and skies of Corcovado, together with parakeets, trogons, and many species of hummingbirds.
Corcovado National Park is located on the southwest Pacific coast of Costa Rica, on the Osa Peninsula of the province of Puntarenas, approximately 330 km from San Jose. It is accessible via the Pan American Highway, by chartered small airplane into the Sirena airstrip, or by commercial flight to the Palmar airport then surface transport to the park.
