Corcovado Costa Rica Information

The Peninsula of Osa stretches for more than 50 kilometers in to the Pacific Ocean, like a gigantic rocky food and it constitutes most of the southern region of Costa Rica. There are headlands, hills, rivers, torrents and plains that occasionally interrupt the harsh profile of the rocks: one exciting discovery after another in this universe that looks uncontaminated, a last fortification protecting the plants and animals.

The Peninsula forms the large protective creek of the Golfo Dulce, with small towns like Rincón and Puerto Jiménez, the River Coto’s large estuary at Punta Blanco and Golfito on the eastern coast of the creek, with is faraway, exotic atmosphere and open air cafes in front of the jetties.



Besides, in Península of Osa you will find a vast area of mangrove forest, of vital importance to the country, has developed along these canals and estuaries, it is home to more than 285 species of birds, 139 mammals and 116 amphibians and reptiles, also Caño Island Biological Reserve, it has a great archeological history of great importance for the country. The island was used as a sacred burial ground, leaving behind in the carved spheres and different carved artifacts with an area of some 6.877 acres of land reserve and 6.210 of marine reserve, it has several fresh water rivers.

The area as a whole posesses thousands of species of flora, many only found in this area and others which have disappeared from other regions.
We can cite the case of the 'ajo' (Caryocar costarricense), the 'ojoche' (Brosimun costaricanum) and the caracolito cedar (Ruptiliocarpon caracolito).

Corcovadoºs diverse fauna is remarkable; many of the species of this region are in danger of extinction, despite the large numbers still found in the region.
The red macaw or 'Guacamaya' (Ara macao), the wild boar (Tayassu pecari), the jaguar (Felis onca) and the crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) confirm this fact.
Just as in the case of the caracolito tree, in the future, studies could reveal the existence of other unknown species, which if it were not for the conservation of the park, would be lost forever without ever having been described.
