Ruta Nacional Secundaria 245Corcovado National Park
Established in October 1975, Corcovado National Park is the largest park in Costa Rica and protects nearly a third of the Osa Peninsula, spanning an area of 54,039 terrestrial hectares and 2,400 marine hectares. The park is home to 13 major ecosystems and conserves the largest primary forest on the American Pacific coastline and one of the few remaining sizeable areas of lowland tropical forests in the world. National Geographic named it "the most biologically intense place on Earth in terms of biodiversity," as the park contains 140 mammal species, 400 bird species (20 of which are endemic), 117 amphibian and reptile species, 40 species of freshwater fish, 500 species of trees, and 8,000 species of insects. Corcovado remains one of the last intact habitats of the New World's largest feline, the jaguar, and is home to four additional species of cats including, the puma, the ocelot, the jaguarundi, and the margay. All four Costa Rican monkey species can be found within the park including, the white-faced capuchin, the mantled howler, Geoffrey's spider monkey, and the endangered Central American squirrel monkey. In addition to the squirrel monkey, amongst the expansive number of species that reside in Corcovado are some of the largest remaining populations of a number of endangered species including, the Baird's tapir, the giant anteater, the white-lipped peccary, the harpy eagle, the scarlet macaw, and the American crocodile, among others.

El Tigre Trail (Sendero El Tigre) starts only a few minutes from your house (Dos Brazos) and is a 6-mile (10 km) loop which passes through primary rainforest with beautiful views of the beautiful Golfo Dulce. This is a moderate-to-difficult hike, mostly because of the steep slopes at the beginning; from 73 meters (239 feet) to 469 meters (1.539 feet) above sea level. The management of this trail is carried out by the Dos Brazos de Río Tigre Conservation Association, which shows that joint work between the state and the community can be achieved through partnerships that serve to foster the local economy in harmony with the environment while conserving the resources.
