Discover the incredible biodiversity of Corcovado National Park on a captivating one-day tour! Located on the Osa Peninsula in the province of Puntarenas, Corcovado protects the largest primary forest of the American Pacific coast and one of the world's last significant remnants of tropical rainforest in the world. This remarkable park is estimated to house 2.5% of the planet's biodiversity within its 13 diverse ecosystems, making it an exceptional destination for wildlife observation.
Even on a single-day visit, you can witness the wonders of Corcovado and have the chance to spot endangered species such as the Tapir, Scarlet Macaw, Squirrel monkeys, and White-Lipped Peccaries.
