Corcovado

Corcovado National Park:

Corcovado is one of the few places on earth that you can surely call paradise. It's the region that National Geographic has described as "the most biologically intense place on earth." The park is located in the pacific coast, in the Península de Osa, Puntarenas. It has very humid forests with 500 species of trees in the whole park, which is the fourth part of all the tree species in Costa Rica. Corcovado also protects various threatened plant and animal species, and is known to have about 124 species of mammals (over 50 bats); 375 species of birds (perhaps 5-8 endemics); 117 species of reptiles and amphibians (2 crocodiles, 4 sea turtles); 66 freshwater fish species; and 70 species of marine crabs.
