Corcovado and the Osa Peninsula
Southern Pacific Region

Corcovado, located in Southwest Costa Rica, on the Osa Peninsula, is one of the last significant virgin rainforests in Central America. It is inhabited by thousands of plant and animal species, including some which are endangered. This is one of the most biologically diverse places on earth and the main attraction is nature watching at Corcovado National Park.

The area is isolated and difficult to access. The best way to visit is to fly into Puerto Jimenez or Drake and then stay at one of the lodges in the outskirts of the National Park. Various day tours into the park are available. The weather is hot and humid, and the area receives a tremendous amount of rain.

This extraordinary area offers many activities including hiking, snorkeling, diving, horseback riding, surfing, swimming, sea kayaking and fishing. The beaches in this region are untouched by development. Corcovado is the perfect destination for the adventurous traveler who wants to experience nature in its truest form while staying in rustic or luxury accommodations.

While in Corcovado:

Visit the Corcovado National Park. Two biological stations: San Pedro and La Sirena provide starting points for exhilarating nature hikes. To take full advantage of the area, use the services of an expert guide.

Tour Isla del Cano (Cano Island). Many experts rate this spot as among the best for diving. You can also snorkel, explore nature or relax in the sun. The boat ride to and from the island is itself a worthwhile tour.

Go on a dolphin and whale watch. The waters off the coast of Corcovado are full of grey dolphins, and are on the migratory path for whales from North and South America. Experts will guide the boats in search of these magnificent ocean mammals offering tourists a responsible, close encounter with these magnificent creatures.

Venture on a canopy tour. Take this one-day tour to experience the thrills of the canopy, especially if you haven’t done so in other regions.
