CORCOVADO NATIONAL PARK, referred to by National Geographic as “the most biologically intense place on Earth” in terms of biodiversity, is a 424km² natural wonderland on the Osa Peninsula, and the jewel of Costa Rica’s national park system. Within its borders are diverse ecosystems, including montane forest, cloud forest, prairie and mangrove wetlands.
The Osa Peninsula Corcovado National Park is full of amazing wildlife that sometimes only our naturalist guides can find. They have a keen sense about the habits of the Osa Wildlife.

The first naturalist to write about the southern regions of Costa Rica was the 18th-century Spanish naturalist Fernandez de Oveido. He was awestruck by the rich stock of flora and fauna, yet his plea to Costa Ricans to take care of the forests went unheeded. Well into the 20th century, clearing the jungle was considered the best way to improve the land.
But all that changed in 1962 when the manager at OPF, Alvin Wright, invites Leslie Holdridge and Joseph Tosi to open a field station on OPF property at Rincon for the Tropical Science Center. They erect the Rincón de Osa field station building just south of the OPF airfield.
1962 to 1973 - Over a thousand scientists visit this research outpost. Their environmental land use studies along with conservation-oriented activity soon provoke a revolutionary shift on the Osa. The station’s presence catalyzed the development of an OSA conservation movement. This largely foreign-born and trained “community” of biologists and other scientists sought the permanent preservation of all or some part of the exceptional biological diversity and natural ecosystems of the Osa Peninsula.
At this time, a lot of the wilderness of the Osa Peninsula was owned by an American forestry company OPF. So the creation of a national park was going to meet resistance.
After fierce resistance on multiple fronts, an Executive Decree (#5343-A) was signed by President Oduber on October 24, 1975 which produced a new set of rules for this neotropical region, and Corcovado National Park was established the next year.
EcoTourism and Conservation grew up around Corcovado, which today is the backbone of the Osa Peninsula.
