National Geographic has named it "The most biologically intense place on Earth." Corcovado National Park holds about 140 species of mammals representing 10% of the mammal-species in America.  

Located in the South on the Peninsula of Osa, this park conserves the largest primary forest in the American Pacific coastline. Unfortunately, it is also the home of several endangered species including: the American tapir also known as Danta, Jaguars, and the red macaw.

Of particular note, it is also the home of one of the last indigenous reserves for the Guaymis, one of the few left in Costa Rica.

Because of its remote location most visitors are biologists and ecologists, but in recent years more people have discovered its rare beauty.

The best way to get to this destination is by domestic flight from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez. There you will find ample hotels and options for camping.
