One
of the few remaining virgin tropical lowland rain forests
in the world, Corcovado National Park stands as a
testament to the Costa Rican Government's commitment to
protecting its majestic environment. The tropical wet
forests contained within its boundaries are widely
considered to be the most species-rich in Central America. More
than 500 species of trees, 367 species of birds, 140 of mammals, 117 of
reptiles/amphibians and 40 species of freshwater fish make Corcovado
their home. Because of such diversity, National Geographic
Magazine has crowned Corcovado National Park as one of "the most
biologically intense places on Earth". Several hundred miles of foot
trails criss-cross the park making even some of its most
remote corners of the park accessible to the adventurous
soul. Here you can wake up to the calls of the howler
monkey and if you get lucky you might even get a glimpse
of a Jaguar, American Crocodile, Caiman or a Baird's
Tapir which are critically endangered or absent in the
rest of the country.
At the Jinetes de Osa we offer guided trips
inside Corcovado National Park. Whether you want to visit
for just the day or explore the whole week, you will be
captivated by the beauty and infinite variety of life
that you will encounter inside the park.
