Corcovado National Park- Wild and Untamed!

Your adventure to Corcovado National Park begins with your early morning van ride from the Dominical area to Sierpe where the tour will stop at a local restaurant for breakfast. Then we will board a boat for a 75-minute ride through one of the largest mangrove swamps in the world. This gives you an opportunity to see all of the animals that inhabit this fascinating ecosystem. These amazing mangroves are home to four species of monkey, crocodiles, snakes, and many varieties of bird life- you will see more wildlife in this brief boat ride then you can even imagine! As you exit the mangroves at the Sierpe River mouth, you will head out on the Pacific Ocean towards the entrance to the National Park.

Past Drake Bay and Marenco Biological Reserve

Our adventure to Corcovado National Park continues as we exit the Sierpe river mouth and hopefully see Humpback, Killer and Pilot whales as we boat pass Drake Bay and the Marenco Biological Reserve. Upon arriving at the Corcovado National Park, our Naturalist Guide will escort you on a challenging three-hour hike through this 54,000 hectacre biologically diverse area. This virgin primary forest area is home to over 500 species of trees including mahogany and purple heart and is the home to the largest population of scarlet macaws in Costa Rica. Many endangered species also call Corcovado National Park home- including, but not limited to many rare reptiles and some amazing big cats like pumas and jaguars. We make our way to one of the Ranger Stations where we enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing out hike back to the boat to return back to Dominical.
