Corcovado National Park is located on the Osa Peninsula in southwest Costa Rica (9 ° North, 83 ° West), and is part of the Osa Conservation Area. It was created on October 24, 1975, and comprises an area of ​​45757 ha land and 5375 ha marine. It is considered a very important piece in the wide system of national parks and biological reserves of the country. Biodiversity is amazing. National Geographic has called it the most intense place in the world, biologically speaking and it is estimated that no place in the world (which has a similar extent) shelters a greater biological diversity.  Description : The park retains the largest primary forest in the American Pacific, along with one of the few significant remnants of tropical rainforest in the world. Logging usually takes place in this forest because it is an accessible place containing valuable and large trees. However, these habitats are the richest, biologically speaking. So, even though about half of the earth's moist tropical forests are still standing, what remains of these is often not enough to sustain the original biodiversity. In particular, large animals need a large habitat. Corcovado, however, is large enough to support important populations of tapir (Tapirus bairdii), also known as tapir, jaguar (Panthera onca) and chancho de monte (Tayassu pecari), species that are considered endangered, besides containing 140 species of Mammals (representing 10% of the mammal species of the American continent). Costa Rica itself is considered an ideal place for ornithologists, and Corcovado contains several hundred species of birds. Recently the harpy eagle, which was considered extinct in the area since 1989, has been sighted in the park. The abundance in wildlife can be explained in part by the varied vegetation, of which there are 13 types, including mountain forest (which covers more than half of the park), mangrove, prairie forest, alluvial plain forest, forest Marsh and others, which together contain 500 species of trees, such as space. Another reason for diversity (which applies to the rest of the country) is that it is located in a biological corridor of flora and fauna. The average annual temperature is 27.5 degrees Celsius, but during the day temperatures regularly reach 35 degrees.  Flora and fauna:  A tiger in Corcovado. Large annual rainfall instead of a large number of watercourses (such as the rivers Sirena, Llorona, Molina, Madrigal) and lake areas, favoring the development of forests with high trees (Nazarene, garlic, lead, The ceiba and the pylon) in almost total alternation with others such as guayabón, Spanish and male cedar, all these trees are covered with epiphytes. It develops an ideal habitat for the development and maintenance of 350 species of birds, 150 species of mammals (jaguars, pumas, herons, blue herons, pijijes, plovers) ocelots, tapirs, monkeys, zaínos, deer, coatis) , More than 100 species of reptiles (crocodiles, snakes, iguanas) and amphibians (glass frog, poison toad) and about 5500 insects. IMPORTANCE: Corcovado has an unusual level of biological diversity that is not exceeded by any area of ​​similar size on the planet. The area includes 25 to 30 ecosystems that host the largest populations of species such as jaguar, puma, chancho de monte and tapir, in Costa Rica. The park protects a major maritime area (almost 54km²) in which a great variety of marine life is developed, it has been discovered that to the east of the park there is a breeding area of ​​humpback whales that come from both the northern and southern hemispheres. The park houses endemics of great importance, including 12 species of trees in danger of extinction.
