This is a marvelous place where miles of solitary beaches and rainforest capture the imagination of those who take this path. The 54,539 hectares Corcovado National Park has astonishing biological diversity that attracts the attention of ecologists who study the intricate rainforest. The park was established in 1975, and has two sections. Most of it is in the southwestern corner of the Península de Osa and protects at least eight distinct types of habitat. |
