Corcovado National Park Tour, a day trip from Manuel Antonio.
Quepos, Costa Rica
Corcovado National Park is rightly named one of the most biodiverse places on earth, and the reason why we created this amazing experience (KEEP IN MIND WE NEED 4 PEOPLE TO OPERATE THIS EXPERIENCE)
With the infrastructural improvements to access national parks of Costa Rica, such as bridges, national roads, and local ports, we decided to customize a one-day tour to Corcovado National Park from Manuel Antonio and Quepos areas. Just a decade ago this experience was considered inoperable or logistics-wise, impossible. Today, we are proud to be the pioneers of this amazing full-day adventure tour, expect unpredictable wildlife moments, capture incredible photos, learn about animal behaviors in the field, and much more.
Some of the most popular target species in our Corcovado tour are large American crocodiles, tapirs, the elusive puma, anteaters, tayras, bull sharks, humpback whales, and, let's dream big... a jaguar!
