Wildlife observation at the Corcovado forest





About this tour
Explore the spectacular wildlife of Corcovado from a unique perspective, just outside the National Park boundaries. While enjoying the exact same rich biodiversity as the park itself, exploring this surrounding forest grants us the freedom to take our time and fully immerse ourselves in the wildlife experience, free from strict park regulations and time limits. This region is globally recognized as one of the single best places on Earth to encounter the Baird’s Tapir. It is also a favored habitat for the elusive Puma. While tracking these apex predators requires patience and some luck, those who succeed to spot them are often rewarded with unparalleled, clear views, as several resident individuals here are remarkably comfortable in the presence of respectful observers. In addition to megafauna, the canopy thrives with life, making this an exceptional vantage point for watching the brilliant, colorful Scarlet Macaw.
