Introduction

Corcovado National Park occupies the Osa Peninsula on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast — dubbed by ecologists “the most biologically intense place on Earth.” Its pristine lowland rainforest shelters Central America’s last large populations of jaguars, tapirs and scarlet macaws, with four monkey species in the canopy. Where forest meets coral reef, it is the ultimate spot for whales, turtles and jungle trekking.

✨ Highlights

Jaguars

Sirena Station
The central overnight hub and core of the classic trekking loop.
