Corcovado
National Park Guided Tour |
|
Description: The
54,539 hectare Corcovado National Park protects
at least 8 distinct habitats, making it the most
unique and best remaining Pacific coastal rainforest
in Central America! Wildlife is abundant and varied
in the park and it is home to Costa Rica's largest
population of scarlet macaws. Many important and
endangered species are protected here, including
tapirs, 5 cat species, crocodiles, peccaries, anteaters,
sloths and monkeys. An added attraction to Corcovado
is that it is the only park in Costa Rica that
has long-distance hiking trails, albeit primitive
ones.
We
are proud to be able to offer you a short foray
into this beautiful, exotic environment. Leaving
Bahia Paraiso by boat, you will arrive at San Pedrillo
where you will walk on the beach for about 2 km
to reach the trail leading into the Park. The trail
is primitive and will take about 2-3 hours to complete.
There will be refreshment stops along the way as
well as a picnic box lunch before returning to
the beach and the walk back to the boat in San
Pedrillo.
Please
note: This tour does require good physical
condition as the hiking is strenuous in a very
hot and humid climate. Comfortable, sturdy walking
shoes are recommended, as well as light clothing.
Don't forget your insect repellent, camera and
binoculars.
This tour depends on weather conditions, as the entering and getting out of
the boats at San Pedrillo depends on tides and swell. This tour will be cancelled
at the last moment if there is any reason to believe that the boat transfer
is not safe.
