Wildlife Holidays to Costa Rica: Corcovado National Park + Osa Peninsula
Corcovado National Park occupies a third of the remote Osa Peninsula in the remote southwest corner of the country and is an essential stop on all wildlife holidays to Costa Rica. According to National Geographic, it is the most biologically diverse place on the planet and it is home to over half of all wildlife species found in Costa Rica. There are 164 square miles of lush primary rainforest to explore, 23 miles of pristine beaches and an ocean teeming with marine life.
Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula is the best place in Costa Rica to see tapir, white-faced monkeys and ocelots, among many other reclusive species. This is also the last Central American stronghold of the jaguar and a wonderful place for serious bird watchers, as scarlet macaws and the rare Harpy eagle live here, amongst hundreds of other species. There are 28 different types of lizards, hundreds of species of butterflies and thousands of insects.
