Corcovado National Park : tout pour préparer ton voyage

Corcovado National Park is considered the wildest and most species-rich protected area in Costa Rica and is often described as the "Amazon of Central America".

Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit

Biodiversity up close – Corcovado is considered Costa Rica's most species-rich protected area. You will encounter tapirs, macaws, Nasua and, with luck, pumas or ocelots in the dense rainforest and on remote beaches.
Experience Sirena – Sirena Ranger Station is the heart of the park and offers you the best wildlife sightings. If you are planning a multi-day stay, you can spend the night there in simple accommodation.
Two main access points – You can reach the park by boat from both Bahía Drake and Puerto Jiménez. Alternatively, you can start from Carate for short visits or multi-day tours.

L’essentiel en un coup d’œil

Guide required – The park is strictly protected and is not accessible without a registered guide. Book your guide and entry in advance through SINAC or a tour operator and secure your places early in the dry season.
Opening times – Open daily from 7am to 4pm.
Getting to Osa Peninsula – You can reach Bahía Drake by plane, by boat from Sierpe or with a 4x4 on gravel tracks. You can reach Puerto Jiménez by plane or with a normal car outside the rainy season.
Overnight stay in the park – In the park only Sirena Station is permitted, with a dormitory and simple meals. Reserve well in advance, especially from December to April.
Best time to visit and equipment – December to April is ideal for hiking, July to October brings rain as well as chances of whales and turtles depending on the sector. Pack insect repellent, hiking shoes, binoculars, long clothing, a waterproof dry bag, head covering, snacks and a reusable water bottle.
