Corcovado National Park

📌 A two day, one night Safari in what National Geographic has called one of the most intense biodiverse places on earth. We left Drake Bay early with a beautiful sunrise, jumping on another boat to cruise around the coast to access the national park. The boat ride along the coast was gorgeous, if felt like possibly the most wild untouched place we had seen, so much dense rainforest meeting the ocean.

📌 We met our guide Eric in the national park and heading for our morning Safari. You could feel the humidity from the trees and sun but once inside the forest it was quite a pleasant morning. We wandered around for a few hours spotting wildlife, before heading to the Rangers station, where we would stay for the evening. We headed out several more times during the day and afternoon, on a further hunt for the beautiful Costa Rican animals.

📌 We ended up spotting many gorgeous animals, including Spider and Howler Monkeys, the unique Squirrel Monkey, many beautiful birds, a sleeping Tapir, some wild pigs, a croc cruising in the river, many........... that were not shy at all and possibly the best sighting of a Ant Eater in the tree. The park was very active and enjoyable to walk around, we ended day 1 drifting off to sleep listening to the nocturnal animals make all kinds of noise in the night. This ended up being one of the most humid and hottest sleeps ever 🥵

📌 The last day we wandered around the park through some dense humid rainforest which was beautiful and vibrant. We spotted several more birds including a gorgeous toucan, found a spot for lunch on the river, and then even spotted a croc. The highlight of the day was on the boat back, we were tired and keen for a shower, suddenly a humpback whale appeared. It was a calf which was very curious and was breaching regularly whilst the mum swam alongside! What a special moment!Read more
