Travelers looking for the perfect eco-tourism destination will find it at Corcovado National Park on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula. Once a remote conservation research station, it’s now a highly sought after and easily accessible eco-travel destination. The nearest towns for accessing Corcovado Park are Drake Bay, Carate, Puerto Jimenez, and La Palma. One, two, and multiple day expeditions leave from these starting points. It’s best to choose what you want to see by trail (there are six), and then match it to an expedition. Travelers should know that park permits are required and only issued 31 days or fewer before a visit. All visitors must be accompanied by certified professional guides.
