Corcovado

One of the few remaining virgin tropical lowland rain forests in the world, Corcovado national Park stands as a testament to the Costa Rican Government's commitment to protecting its majestic environment.

The tropical wet forests contained within its boundaries are widely considered to be the most species-rich in Central America. More than 500 species of trees, 400 species of birds, 150 species of reptiles/amphibians and 40 species of freshwater fish make Corcovado their home.

We offer guided day trips through Corcovado National Park. The tour begins with an early morning, 25-minute boat ride to the San Pedrillo ranger station- the northernmost station in the park. From here your guide will lead you into the park on one of the trails or streambeds that make access through the jungle possible. The black and green dart frogs while high overhead brighten the forest floor; the canopy is filled with troops of White-fronted Capuchin, Spider, and Howler Monkeys. Our knowledgeable guides will point out the dazzling flora and fauna unique to only this part of the world.

You will stop for lunch on one of the same black sand beaches where the sea turtles nest. The footprints from the jaguars' evening hunt spot the pristine silky shoreline. After lunch and few more hours of hiking and exploring this amazing area, you will be ready for a cool dip in an exotic rain forest waterfall. A late afternoon boat ride ends the exciting exploration of the park and returns you to TreeTop Resort.

Because of such diversity, national Geographic Magazine has crowned Corcovado national Park as on of "the most biologically intense places on Earth".

Several hundred miles of foot trails criss-cross the park making even some of its remote corners accessible to the adventurous soul. Here you can wake up to the calls of the Howler monkey and if you get lucky you might even catch a glimpse of a Jaguar, American Crocodile, Caiman or a Baird's Tapir with are critically endangered or absent in the rest of the country.
